Develop On MiniMaxSpotlight on UK: MiniMax Light Up London and Oxford with Back-to-Back AI Film Events
From March to May 2025, MiniMax (Hailuo AI) has been making waves across the UK this spring—bringing the future of AI filmmaking to creators, storytellers, and visionaries across every level of the industry. With a series of standout events in London and Oxford, MiniMax has firmly planted its flag as a leader in creative AI innovation.
🎬 Film Night Magic: A Celebration of Creativity
On March 20, the Hailuo AI X Raindance Film Festival AI Film Night kicked things off with an electric atmosphere. 100+ participants were treated to an evening of thought-provoking panel discussions, live showcases of AI-powered short films, and in-depth conversations about the future of storytelling. A hands-on workshop was led by AI filmmaker and educator Philip Turner, where guests explored Hailuo AI’s powerful video-generation platform and saw firsthand how imagination can be transformed into moving image—without a traditional camera in sight.
🎓 Masterclass Momentum: Leveling Up the Craft
Just a few weeks later on April 25, we returned to the Century Club for the MiniMax AI Film Masterclass.
Guests enjoyed an experimental audience-directed AI film experience before diving into a series of mini-workshops by some of the UK's leading voices in AI and film:
Phill Turner (phill.ai)
Jimmy Woolley (Lionsgate)
Zed Anwar (Zedtrafficker)
Alessio Minichiello (Doctor Undefined)
A compelling panel discussion followed, featuring:
Adam Morse (Director for Google, McLaren, Apple TV actor)
Vanda S. (AI Technical Consultant, Hogarth)
Tim Flagg (CEO, UKAI)
Zed Anwar (Creative Director, Zedtrafficker)
Their insights brought both optimism and critical thought to the conversation, underscoring how MiniMax's tools are reshaping not only workflows—but mindsets.
🧠 MiniMax at the University of Oxford
A panel on Media and AI was hosted at Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, where the speaker Daniel Gordon refers to MiniMax's cutting-edge power in the media and AI landscape. The event featured an interactive MiniMax workshop by Phill Turner, where 100+ attendees got hands-on with the latest MiniMax tools to create commercials—including subject references, animation models, and MiniMax Audio, allowing participants to fully engage in the merge of exploration of convenient AI technology and creativity in business commercials.
These activities were more than an opportunity of networking and novelty—it was a signal. As AI filmmaking continues to evolve, so too does the community around it. Hailuo AI and Moonmax are proud to be part of that conversation, helping creators not just adapt, but lead. Stay tuned—because the next scene is already rendering.
