Funkuncle is a Melbourne-based film and music project that joined FINCH's production roster in March 2025. Led by creative Ant Keogh under the artistic persona Edward J. Funkuncle (Jr), the director brings commercial advertising experience into an AI-forward experimental practice. The work blurs traditional filmmaking with generative AI tools including Midjourney, Runway Gen-2, and ChatGPT to create surreal, often humorous short films and music projects. Funkuncle's stated philosophy—'As A.I. threatens to take away our humanity, Edward J. Funkuncle hopes to force-feed humanity back into A.I.'—manifests in a hybrid approach that alternates between fully algorithmic generation and handcrafted analog techniques. The visible portfolio consists primarily of self-directed music videos and experimental films such as 'Have You Tried It?,' 'Bear Skin,' 'Mr Prinks,' 'Jellymen,' 'Clunky,' and 'System 7.' Funkuncle also composes original music released on Spotify and Soundcloud, and serves as a judge for the Disrupt AI Film Festival. The sole identified commercial credit is a promotional film for MADC. Keogh's background includes agency work recognized at Cannes and D&AD, though specific campaigns are undocumented.
