/ About this event

LA Tech Week brings a lot of panels about AI. This one's about where story and capital meet.

Join Giant Leap Media Ventures, Echobend Creative and Dynamita Studios for a fireside conversation on how storytellers are actually using AI tools right now, not to replace craft, but to sharpen it. From decks that get green-lit by studio decision-makers to direct-to-audience content that builds IP from scratch, we're digging into the real workflows creatives are using to get their ideas seen, funded, and made.

We're bringing together creatives building with AI tools and the decision-makers evaluating them: studio executives, producers, and early-stage investors who are watching this space closely.

For investors, it's a look at how AI is reshaping content pipelines and IP development from the inside - the workflows and signals showing up before they hit a term sheet.

On the panel: DJ Jiang, Managing Partner - Giant Leap Media Ventures Noah Wagner, Producer - Echobend Creative Ana Menendez, Producer - Dynamita Studios

Following the conversation, stick around for a mixer — meet the founders, producers, creatives, and investors building at the intersection of AI and storytelling.
