Another Milestone for Washing Dreams: Finalist at Neu Wave 2026

Another international milestone for our AI-generated mystery thriller, recognized for its creativity, artistic vision and contribution to a new generation of filmmaking.

Santa Monica, California, October 14, 2026. We are proud to announce that Washing Dreams received a Finalist Selection at the 2026 Neu Wave AI Film Festival. This international recognition celebrates the creative vision behind our original mystery thriller, which takes audiences into the unsettling world of Hollywood, 1984.

Following the festival, director Tony Shyu personally congratulated our team and presented creator Cédric Bensoussan with an official Finalist Selection certificate.

The certificate recognizes the film’s creativity, artistic vision and achievement in AI filmmaking. It also highlights the possibilities of emerging technologies in bringing original stories to life.

For our team, this recognition is especially meaningful: it celebrates not only the tools used to create the film, but also the imagination, direction and storytelling behind it.

The official Neu Wave AI Film Festival Finalist Selection certificate is dated October 14, 2026, in Santa Monica, California.

Set in Hollywood, 1984, Washing Dreams follows an ensemble of aspiring stars, unusual characters and troubled souls whose lives intersect around a seemingly ordinary laundromat. As mysterious disappearances unfold, the line between ambition and danger begins to blur.

The film was developed using generative artificial intelligence alongside human writing, cinematic direction, editing, sound design and an original soundtrack. But our ambition has always gone beyond a technological demonstration.

Washing Dreams is a story first, and a technological experiment second. Every creative decision serves the characters, the mystery and the emotional experience of the audience.

This distinction follows other important steps for Washing Dreams, including recognition at AI film festivals in Phoenix and London, as well as our private Paris premiere at the legendary Club 13 cinema.

Each milestone encourages us to keep developing this original cinematic universe and to connect with audiences who love mystery, retro cinema and new forms of visual storytelling.

We warmly thank Tony Shyu and the Neu Wave AI Film Festival team for this recognition and for supporting filmmakers exploring new directions in cinema.

Our journey into Hollywood, 1984 continues. We look forward to sharing more of the world, characters and secrets of Washing Dreams with audiences around the globe.

Welcome to Hollywood. Welcome to Washing Dreams.
Some dreams should never be shared.
