GenJam: Make an AI Film in 3 Hrs!
Make Your Own AI Film: “Future of Storytelling” 🎬🛠️📖
What does storytelling look like in 2040? In this GenJam, we’re stepping beyond the page and the screen to explore how AI, performance, and wild imagination can reshape narrative itself. From simulated memoirs to sentient TikToks, algorithmic folklore to immersive propaganda, you’ll prototype a new mode of storytelling—and bring it to life in a short film.
There are no rules. Only format glitches, character hallucinations, and narrative experiments waiting to be born. Let’s jam.
What You’ll Do
💡 Concept the Narrative of the Future
You’ll start with strange prompts, stranger tools, and a deceptively blank canvas.
Invent new genres, remix old tropes, and conjure up fictional media from the next century—complete with world-lore, formats, and fictional audiences.
🎥 Produce a Story Artifact
Turn your concept into a tangible piece of media using tools like Luma, Suno, Runway, ElevenLabs, and more.
Whether it’s a trailer for an interactive memory archive, a short film voiced by AI ancestors, or a propaganda reel from a utopian cult—we want to see the future you’re imagining.
🏆 Share & Celebrate
We’ll screen everyone’s work and vote on winners in categories like:
• Most Uncanny Future
• Most Emotionally Real
• Best Use of AI Medium
• “What Did I Just Watch?” Award
