Join the Machine Cinema community for a playful, hands-on LA Tech Week activation that blends nature, filmmaking, and AI.
Hosted by Michael Ronen (immersive designer, creator of Play Economy), we’ll open with a short networking circle and a live panel of AI creators on:
practical AI workflows for media, entertainment, and marketing
Protopia storytelling (optimistic, real, future-friendly)
how nature × technology can co-create better culture
Then we form teams for a gentle group hike from Trippet Ranch toward Eagle Rock—no sweat-fest, just a scenic walk—capturing “magical hike” moments on phones. Back at the host estate (strong Wi-Fi), we’ll transform footage with AI and cut micro-stories that bring the hike to life.
You’ll leave with:
a short, AI-assisted micro-film ready to post
a repeatable workflow (capture → prompt → edit → publish)
new collaborators across LA Tech Week
Hosted & curated by: Michael Ronen, Wonderland Immersive Design
Community partner: Machine Cinema
