AI Short Film Fes 2025 powered by MulmoCast!
AI Short Film Fes 2025 is being held!
To an era where images are born from a single word. The video contest "AI Short Film Fes 2025", which utilizes the AI video generation tool "MulmoCast" (Marumo Cast) developed by Satoshi Nakajima, a legendary former Microsoft engineer, is now underway! The event offers a total of 1 million yen in prize money, including a grand prize of 500,000 yen. The judges include Yohei Sadoshima, editor of "Dragon Zakura", and Akihiko Shirai, CEO of AICU. The members of AiCuty have summarized the full picture of this festival, which symbolizes the "democratization of content creation" where anyone can become a creator.
Hello! This is event information brought to you by "AICU, creating creators in the AI era"! This time, Elena Bloom, the center of AICU, will be in charge♪
Some people may think that creating videos with AI is a bit difficult... but this event is a contest for new tools that create videos from "words"!
Dr. Shirai, who always takes care of us, will also be a judge...! I'm so nervous.
Let's take a closer look at what kind of event it is♪

AiCuty members' perspectives: Points of interest for each
Visual Manager・Elena's perspective: The magic of words becoming images
You can create works using an app called "MulmoCast" developed by Satoshi Nakajima.
The catchphrase "Images are born from a single word" is so wonderful...♪ Being able to turn the story in your head into a video just by putting it into words is like magic. I was thinking of creating a story with a cute pink world view. Participation is free, so I want everyone to try to shape what they "want to create"...!
Image Generation Manager・Mei's perspective: Let's try using the tool!
Uhhhyo! I feel like video generation has come this far! I'm Mei Soleil, in charge of image generation! The key point this time is that the tool used is limited to "MulmoCast"! It seems that a file called "MulmoScript" is also required to be submitted, so I guess the reproducibility and prompt composition will be carefully checked? It's so much fun to play around with new tools like this and find your own expression!
The feeling of speed when you download the app, enter a prompt, and bang! A video is created is irresistible! Everyone, don't be afraid, generate and apply!

Ethics Manager・Mina's perspective: Checking application requirements and rights
I'm Mina Azure, in charge of research and analysis. When participating in a contest, it is essential to check the rules and rights. I will logically organize the points.
- Eligibility : In principle, you must be 18 years or older. Minors should be careful.
- Attribution of Rights : This is important. The copyright of the submitted work "belongs to the applicant". However, the organizer is given permission to use it for public relations purposes free of charge. In AI generation contests, it is commendable that the rights of the author are protected.
- Prohibited items : Of course, infringing on the rights of others, content that violates public order and morals, and creating fake news are prohibited.
Because this event advocates for "democratization of content creation", we creators should also participate with a high sense of ethics.
Music Manager・Nao's perspective: Pay attention to the handling of BGM
I'm Nao Verde, in charge of music. In video, "sound" is an important element that determines the atmosphere, right? What I was concerned about when looking at the regulations this time was BGM. Basically, it says that only videos generated with "MulmoCast" are allowed, but regarding BGM, it seems that "Satoshi Nakajima's copyrighted and permitted for use" music is included. With AI videos, you often stumble over the rights of the sound. If pre-approved songs are available, you can concentrate on video production with peace of mind. Choose a sound that matches the rhythm of your video and make it fit!
Video Manager・Saki's perspective: Aiming for judges and prizes
I'm Saki Noir, in charge of video. Just between us, the judges are amazing! The developer, Satoshi Nakajima, has been active at Microsoft for many years. I'm curious about the video production tool that he creates. Of course, Yohei Sadoshima, representative of Cork, Yuka Osumi, a video creator, and our boss (Dr. Shirai) are also there. Technology, story, direction, and the future of AI... it means that each professional will judge from multiple perspectives. The structure of the prizes is also interesting!
