Telling the stories that AI can't

By
Weirdo
Date Launched
April 28, 2025

Thank you Storyblocks for trusting us to help you celebrate human filmmaking. Visual worlds you can't simply generate, or prompt, or dream (or steal). The stories you can only tell by finding yourself face-to-face with another human, and in direct relationship with the reality, not the idea, of your subject matter.

Congratulations to all 10 talented artists we had the opportunity to work with, as we looked to help the stock video platform better represent true American life. From the snowfields of Minnesota, to the grasslands of rural California, to the farms of Appalachia, the shoreline of Hawai'i and the urban soul of Atlanta.

Filmakers:
Johnny Nguyen
Christian Nolan Jones
Roxy Facer
Josh Herum
Kristofer Evered
Noah Higgins
Dana DePirri
Mahdi Atif
Dominic Lorenzo
Eryn Gruttadauria
