48 hours. To shoot a short film. Experiment with the latest creative tech. Edit. Music. Grade. Sound. Deliver!

This is a global competition and shortlisted films will be screened at the Cineum Cannes during the film festival.

Music video? Short? Doc? Artistic endeavour? Life story to tell? Comedy cartoon? Whatever your field, spend 48 hours testing the ceiling is of your creative limits. We’re very excited to see the alchemy.

We couldn’t do this without the support of our incredible partners and sponsors.

OUR PICK OF THE WEEK

Funny and sweet and lovely. A dose of what the world needs.

Zach Galifianakis’s show Between Two Ferns was a must watch. Checkout the best of on YouTube. Zach’s dry humour knows no bounds and watching celebs squirm against a stoney faced Zach was delightfully compelling. IS delightfully compelling.

THIS IS A GARDENING SHOW is an altogether different affair. Still his witty charming self, a bit older, a bit wiser (ish) Zach turns his attention to gardens and the education around them. Education which is mostly dished out to kids and which rarely stays on topic. But it all just works.

The show has never made vegetables look so good. A return to a respect for nature is what humanity needs and Zach’s message delivered with more than a smattering of silliness couldn’t be clearer. You’ll learn a ton about how to compost or forage or what conditions home grown veg need! And at 15 minutes an ep this show is the perfect brake from busy lives.

Remember → bigscreenhack.com ← and we’ll see you next week.

Have a great bank holiday weekend.

We hired one colleague for every department.

Last Tuesday, marketing asked Viktor to write the weekly campaign recap, pull performance from Google Ads and Meta, and format it as a PDF for the exec team. Done in four minutes.

That same afternoon, engineering asked Viktor to review three open pull requests on GitHub, cross-reference with the Linear sprint board, and flag anything blocking the release. Posted to private channel before standup.

At 9pm, ops asked Viktor to draft a vendor contract summary from three Notion docs and send it to the team. It was in #ops by morning.

None of them knew the others were using it.

Same colleague. Three departments. That's what changes when your AI coworker lives in Slack, where your whole company already works. It's not a tool one person logs into. It's a teammate everyone messages.

5,700+ teams. SOC 2 certified. Your data never trains models.

"Viktor is now an integral team member, and after weeks of use we still feel we haven't uncovered the full potential." - Patrick O'Doherty, Director, Yarra Web
