DETAILS

The age of the influencer is ending.
The age of the world-builder, the bedroom showrunner, the full-stack creative is here.

What to expect:
- A structured AI video competition with other attendees
- A low-pressure creative environment where weirdos are welcome
- Light food & drinks (alc & non)

What is this:
A hackathon mixed with a writers' room mixed with an experimental game night. Hosted by comedian Myka Fox, you'll team up with collaborators to create characters & short film concepts using AI tools (Cantina, Veo, CapCut, etc.). Non-competitive. Non-judgmental. But there will be prizes!

What's in it for you:
Learn new tools, meet future collaborators, & maybe walk away with a job. We're lowkey scouting creators for our Creator Residency. If you're good at this, it won't go unnoticed.

Who is this for:
AI creatives, AI skeptics, writers, comedians, editors, shit-posters, slop-tinkerers, the curious. It's a wide tent!

What is Cantina:
Built by Sean Parker, Cantina is an AI character engine. You design a character's personality, their voice, their look, & then publish them as a dynamic personality. Your character can create videos, talk to people, build worlds with other characters on the platform.

We view Cantina as an identity lab, & we're looking for smart people to experiment with.


- Cantina runs on your phone, so computers are only encouraged for those wanting to do more serious editing
