Whether you’re a founder, investor, marketer, AI creator, or filmmaker, this exclusive salon is for anyone who values powerful storytelling, audience connection, and standout brand building. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage up close with two Emmy-winning speakers as they share insights on how AI is transforming the future of narrative.

🔥 Featured Fireside Chat Guests

Bernie Su – 3× Primetime Emmy-winning creator and showrunner of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Emma Approved, and Artificial (Twitch). Bernie is currently directing the upcoming AI-animated feature Every Living Creature, and developing Whispers, an AI-driven interactive thriller where audiences shape the narrative in real time.

Scott Mease — A creative leader at the forefront of the next wave of entertainment. With a career that has journeyed from visual effects artistry to pioneering work in virtual reality, he now leads AI initiatives at the acclaimed Baobab Studios, a 10x Emmy-award winning and leading independent interactive animation studio. There, he is dedicated to exploring how artificial intelligence can serve as a powerful collaborative tool, pioneering artist-friendly approaches that enhance, rather than replace, human creativity.

🎤 Host — (Fiona) Bai Yu, founder of CineAI Founders Hub, is a seasoned writer, director, and producer.
