Stephan Baum is the founder of MetaMorph, the pioneering AI film and music award celebrating creativity in the age of intelligent machines. Blending backgrounds in strategy, technology, and finance, Stephan launched MetaMorph to connect emerging AI storytellers with industry leaders and audiences worldwide.
Stephan champions the belief that human creativity and machine intelligence are not in competition but in collaboration. The 2025 edition of MetaMorph drew over 1,000 global submissions and featured at The AI Summit London, with a judging panel that included world-renowned figures such as Timbaland, John Rhys-Davies, and Dave Rolfe of WPP—underscoring the platform’s calibre and cross-industry reach.
In 2026, MetaMorph expands into a multi-day international festival uniting art, science, and innovation—continuing Stephan’s mission to redefine how technology shapes imagination with a new generation of talent.
