/ About this event
Let’s roll up our sleeves and get into the weeds!
This isn’t another big-picture conversation about the future of AI. We’re getting into the daily realities of using AI to make and ship real film and television. the workflows that actually work, the problems that come up along the way, and how experienced creators are solving them.
Over lunch, veteran film and television creators will take us inside their work. Each will share a real project and break down the workflow behind it, followed by a candid discussion and audience Q&A.
