Momentum

We seek inventive research that bridges the continuing evolution of creativity, media and leading-edge technology. We seek storytelling that leverages the multiplicative, compounding power of generative AI and machine learning.

In a bid to nurture and develop diverse voices, we seek to support bold emerging artists and filmmakers committed to preserving the culture and history of people who otherwise have limited exposure in cinematic expression. We aim to create for them a stable and equitable platform where we can collaborate.

While we can't yet fund bigger projects, we can share our expertise with like-minded collaborators to incubate ideas and build a catalog of creative development projects that can stay visible and relevant in a saturated market.

Every day in America and across the globe we witness the world become a smaller yet more expansive place. The melting pot of difference exists in a vast and complex environment where it can merge, transform and develop anew. Never before has there been such an intertwining in the histories of peoples and the intense brilliance of individuals as there is today; the paths forward are only possible together. While for many this accelerating world brings more hope and opportunity, for many others, the world escalates deeper into fear, suffering and dead ends. We hope to support artists in celebrating, investigating and empthazing with this spectrum of existence.

Immersive gaming and E-sport have transformed entertainment forever but this is just the beginning. We believe that the art possible in interactive entertainment or "gaming" is a new frontier, one of the next steps in mainstream storytelling. We are also convinced that current E-sport, whilst groundbreaking, represents what could be a step towards some of the ultimate forms of human competition. To the skeptics of a shift toward new mainstream forms of entertainment, we simply say, you're wrong!

Technology and motion picture are historically inseparable. At Cadency Media we love that technology gives us new ways to tell stories, and we want to engage with others who love it as much as us.

Making visual art on drones fitted with cameras is simultaneously cutting edge and becoming commonplace. We've seen drones used in Game of Thrones, and in the near future, blockbuster sports will be filmed on agile camera drones. The technology is improving incredibly fast whilst being excellent now. Most importantly, the best ways to utilize drones in motion picture storytelling are still being developed by filmmakers - which is what interests us the most.
