"The goal is to revolutionize filmmaking and democratize the process by equipping the new generation of creatives with the tools they need," states Mathis.

The groundbreaking 3-Day AI Screenwriting Workshop will provide an immersive experience from July 21-23. The workshop aims to enable participants to craft a compelling screenplay, combining their creative vision with AI technology. Participants will gain a unique, in-depth insight into Hollywood's entertainment process.
On Sunday evening, the public is warmly invited to immerse themselves in the innovative blend of AI technology and storytelling at the AI Interactive Writing Exhibition. During this unique event taking place on July 23, Mathis, Suh, and Allen, along with the 5 workshop writers, will demonstrate AI's accelerated writing process.
