MindsEye has completed the signing of Oscar-winning filmmaker Victoria Warmerdam. The Dutch talent won the 2025 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film with 'I'm Not a Robot', a sci-fi drama about a woman who fails one too many CAPTCHA tests. Written and directed by Warmerdam, it scratches that 'Black Mirror' itch way better than the show does these days.

It's little wonder that MindsEye CEO and founder Hughie Phillips says: "Victoria is a remarkable talent. 'I'm Not a Robot' is brilliant, bold, and visually stunning—the kind of film that grabs your attention immediately and stays with you long after it's finished.

"Victoria is a powerful new voice in filmmaking," Phillips adds, "and we're thrilled to welcome her to MindsEye. She also assures me she's left a little space on the shelf next to her Oscar for a few British Arrows and a Cannes Lion." It's good to be prepared, after all.
