Mugafi Founder Vipul Agrawal Speaks at Cannes Next on AI and the Future of Cinema

At the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, Vipul Agrawal, Founder of Mugafi, took the stage at the opening session of Cannes Next to discuss the transformative role of AI in the future of cinema. Speaking alongside global experts, Agrawal emphasized how artificial intelligence could not only revolutionize filmmaking but also lead to deeper human growth and creativity.

Highlighting the rise of storytelling from Asia, Agrawal stated, "The next major franchise could very well emerge from India or Asia," signaling a shift in the global entertainment landscape. He showcased how Mugafi is contributing to this evolution by developing unique tools for script doctoring and nurturing a new generation of screenwriters, strengthening the creative pipeline.

Agrawal was joined by Toni Thai Sterrett and Yannick Bossenmeyer—both noted figures in AI and entertainment. Bossenmeyer introduced Blockframes, a cutting-edge AI tool designed for comprehensive revenue and reporting management in film production.

The session was moderated by renowned media futurist Sten-Kristian Saluveer, and set the tone for Cannes Next as a platform exploring innovation at the intersection of technology, creativity, and global storytelling.

Mugafi is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing AI entertainment companies, combining cutting edge technology with storytelling. By building a strong writer talent pool and developing innovative tools for script development and doctoring, Mugafi is reshaping how stories are created, especially across India and Asia, positioning itself at the forefront of the global content revolution.
