The Infinity Festival Monolith Awards celebrate achievements in “Story Advanced by Technology” and are judged by a distinguished panel of experts hailing from top Hollywood studios, tech companies, and Fortune 500 companies. This diverse group of creatives and innovators bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, ensuring that the most deserving projects are recognized.
