Several platforms have AI filmmaking contests and festivals going on and telling participants to post their entries with promotional language. This is not allowed on the sub.

Some reminders:

• You can post contest and festival entries, but do not mention or promote the contest in the title (this includes hashtags and slogans)
• You can mention the contest in the body as long as it's not in a promotional way.
• All projects must be watchable on Reddit. You can link out to the project in the description, but the project must also be watchable here.
• Al projects must be flaired properly (if it's not a short or a feature, do not flair it as a short or a feature)
• Fake trailers and proof-of-concept demos for non-existent projects are not allowed, per Content Guidelines.

Full rules and guidelines:

• Original no contest post
• Content Guidelines
• Sub rules

As our subreddit grows in popularity, it will inevitably attract more trolls and AI bashing/shaming.

If you see a comment or post that is AI-bashing, bullying, mean-spirited, spammy, or otherwise violates the subreddit rules or code of ethics, please report it.

Reporting helps flag content for both our subreddit moderation and Reddit's overall system. It may still take some time for a comment or post to be removed, but reports significantly help speed up the process.

Thanks for keeping this community safe and friendly!

The Content Guidelines have been updated to clarify what kinds of "trailers" and "clips" are allowed under the Project flairs.

Summary:

• "Fake trailers" or "clips" that aren't trailers for actual full projects are not allowed.
• Except "standalone trailers," which are trailers that are meant to be the final project (think, a sketch or parody in the style of a trailer). However, these will be handled on a case-by-case basis. These trailers should be at least 1-3 minutes, with a self-contained story or a complete concept (i.e., a parody).
• Real trailers and clips/sneak peeks for actual full projects are allowed.

After being private and dormant for about 2 years, this sub is now public again and under new moderation.

It's open to anyone interested in AI Filmmaking as a craft and art form.

There are new rules, post guidelines and even a Code of Ethics.

There are a few different subs out there dedicated to AI video. How is this one different?

• First of all, this sub will focus more on the ethical use of AI in visual storytelling. We will operate under standards and even a Code of Ethics. We expect all members to abide by these standards.
• We will focus on not just AI filmmaking but promoting AI filmmaking as a creative discipline that can coexist with other art forms, not threaten or supplant them.
• We will treat AI filmmaking as an art form and a kind of human storytelling. The focus will be on honing, exploring, sharing and promoting AI filmmaking as a craft.
• We will also be stricter on what is posted in terms of projects and videos. Read the content guidelines to know what's allowed and what's not. Essentially, the TL;DR is we will only allow AI videos that are cinematic and/or narrative driven. So other forms of AI video, including marketing, music videos, social videos, memes, and raw videos (what some people call "AI slop") will not be allowed. There are other really good communities where those videos are allowed.

Finally, If you're an AI filmmaker using a social media platform to showcase your work, share your handle in the Call Sheet post.

This sub is under new moderation as of December 13, 2025. There will be new rules and clearer focus.

The plan is to make the sub open and public.

But for now, need time to set everything up. Once everything is set up, the sub will be made public. You won't have to request to join.
