Why follow this filmmaker
OMNI credits Maria Zozulia (Ukraine) with The Reckless Play, winner of its Envato Pattern Recognition Award at OMNI 1.5 Hyperphantasia. The five-minute animated short builds a chase comedy from a chain of escalating decisions across a large cast of animal characters, and its release lists the tools used.
Her channel describes her as an AI filmmaker and screenwriter and claims a Berlinale 2026 top-five AI selection and a Megogo AI Film Festival 2025 win; PixVerse’s presentation of a later follow-up describes the Megogo prize as Best Screenplay. Those are the creator’s and platform’s statements, not independently checked results. No personal website or X profile linked from her channel was found, so none is listed.
