Mayumi Rollings’ Make Art Not War has won the Control Over Machines Competition at the Austin AI Film Festival. Multimodal Media Lab congratulates Mayumi on the recognition and is honoured that MML ONE was part of her creative process.
A Fable About Creative Freedom
Rollings describes the short as a surreal story about barriers to beauty and free expression, and the small acts of courage that can dismantle them. Its message celebrates showing up as yourself and helping others do the same.
In her original announcement, she thanked EVRN and ESCAPE AI MEDIA, and credited Pinar Demirdag with accepting the award on her behalf.
The Artist Leads. The Tools Support.
Rollings lists EVRN, MML ONE, DaVinci Resolve and Suno among the tools used to make the film. MML ONE’s role sits within that wider creative workflow, guided by her vision.
At MML, we build tools and provide documentary and film production services that help people bring meaningful stories to new audiences. Our human-led approach to AI keeps creative direction and responsibility with people. We are delighted to celebrate Mayumi’s achievement and the storytellers finding new ways to express themselves.
