Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how generative tools can support independent artists in making their films. Go inside the process as the team behind the short film MythOS breaks down how they leveraged generative technologies, organized their workflows, and tackled key challenges. This session highlights the steps and decisions that shaped their film, showing what collaboration looks like when incorporating AI tools, and how AI can enhance an artist’s creativity and streamline the path to a finished film.

In this interactive 60-minute session, Lazar shares practical methods directors can use to lead creative collaborations with their cinematographers, regardless of their technical expertise. You’ll learn to find subtext in a scene, link it to effective visual methods, and gain authority through your understanding of the story. The session ends with a Q&A session, where audience members ask questions to gain insights tailored to their own filmmaking journey.

For this Spotlight Event, Fleck and Boden will discuss their journey from making a short to their first feature, the art of collaboration, and the differences between directing film and television.
