The 🎬 Myths, Magic & AI Movie-Making
Calling all filmmakers, AI explorers, and creative risk-takers—come push the limits of AI-powered storytelling at GenJam LA! Whether you’re an AI first-timer or already deep in generative video, this is your chance to collaborate, experiment, and create something bold with the range of AI Tools that are out there.
🌈 Theme: Bring Your Story to Life!
Los Angeles is built on big dreams and even bigger myths—so let’s make some more.
Your challenge: use AI Tools to craft an AI-generated short film inspired by the theme “Bring Your Story to Life” Maybe it’s a script, a trailer, a film, or an animated show that you've always wanted to make. Use AI tools to turn them into a short 30sec-2min trailer!
🎬 How It Goes Down:
1. Kickoff & Connect 🤝
Show up, grab a snack, and meet your co-conspirators—expect a mix of GenAI pros, first-timers, and creative chaos agents.
2. Story Challenge & Brainstorming 🌈
Each team gets a chance to reimagine the “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow. Is it treasure, a scam, or just another self-help podcast?

Learn the ropes of AI Tools, then race against time to generate a mind-blowing AI film with your team.
4. Editing & Final Touches ✂️
Polish your masterpiece with the help of mentors, GenAI experts, and your own questionable creative instincts.

Time for the big screen premiere. Cheer, cringe, and vote on your favorites. Someone will leave with bragging rights.
