Come ready to make something. Rough cuts, unexpected ideas, and ambitious experiments are welcome.

An end-of-night premiere. Screen your first cut, share what you tried, get feedback, and vote for audience favorites. We’ll have dinner and plenty of time to meet potential collaborators along the way.
Who should join
Creators, marketers, filmmakers, founders, agency teams, and builders who want to experiment with AI-assisted video. No coding or filmmaking experience required. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to figur...
