That trailer above is Frequency Signal.
I made it as my entry for the Artlist Studio Challenge and I want YOU to make yours.
Here’s the deal.
Artlist just launched their biggest creative competition yet. One winner gets $100,000 to fund a full film or series. Ten finalists each receive five million Artlist credits a month for a year, worth around $28,000 each.
All you have to do is make a 30-second trailer.
They’re judging on three things: originality, storytelling, and cinematic quality. Not production budget. Not follower count. Just the strength of your idea and how well you tell it.
That’s the whole game right now. The tools exist. The playing field is more level than it has ever been. The only thing standing between you and a $100,000 production funding is a concept and thirty seconds of footage.
You have until May 25th, 2026
If you’ve been sitting on an idea for a film or series this is the moment to stop sitting on it.
Go to the Artlist Studio Challenge page, read the details, and submit your trailer.
Make something worth watching.
Be Well, Do Good, and Make Awesome Things.
