METAMORPH AI AWARD 2026
The MetaMorph AI Award is a UK-based global AI film and music festival, judged by a heavyweight panel including John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones), David Nutter (Game of Thrones, The Flash), and Timbaland's Stage Zero team — the AI-powered entertainment company founded by Timbaland, Rocky Mudaliar, and Zayd Portillo. Categories span AI Film, AI Animation, and AI Music. The music crossover through Stage Zero opens a unique creative avenue — AI filmmakers working with AI-generated or AI-enhanced soundtracks.
