Los Angeles, California Aug 22, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Isabella: Rise of the Warrior Queen, an anime historical drama chronicling the rise of Queen Isabella I of Castile, has been honored with the Best Animated Feature award at the prestigious Atlantis Awards based Los Angeles, California but presented this year in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The groundbreaking win highlights the films artistic achievement and the growing recognition of AI-generated works in the cinematic community.
Created primarily with cutting-edge AI generative tools such as LTX Studio, Hedra, ElevenLabs, and Hailuo.ai, Isabella was written and produced by husband-and-wife filmmakers JC and Rita De La Torre of Fugazy Films AI, a studio dedicated to crafting high-quality AI films across history, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and beyond.
We are deeply honored to be nominated for the award, but winning for Best Animated Feature was unexpected considering the climate towards AI film, said JC De La Torre, director and executive producer at Fugazy Films. We applaud festivals like the Atlantis Awards for accepting films created with AI tools and not subscribing to the discrimination against AI films that so many have succumbed to. To have the courage to award Isabella is tremendous. This win shows that not every AI film is slop. Stunning, meaningful work can absolutely be created with these tools, and we believe films should be judged on their merits no matter how they are made.
De La Torre also credited other pioneering AI filmmakers, including Dustin Hollywood, KavanTheKid, and Tim Simmons, for pushing the boundaries of what AI-driven cinema can achieve.
In addition to his work on Isabella, De La Torres creative credits include the feature film Seekers of the Lost Worlds, the acclaimed fiction podcasts Continuum Force and Vampires of White Chapel, and the Star Mage comic series published by IDW Comics.
Isabella: Rise of the Warrior Queen is available to watch for free on Fugazy Films Ancient Memoria YouTube channel, where it continues to attract a global audience of history and anime enthusiasts.
The studio is currently in production on its next AI-animated historical drama, Howard Carter: The Sand and Sea, which will follow the gripping story of Howard Carters discovery of King Tutankhamuns tomb. The film is slated for release in September.
