Join award winning filmmaker, speaker & startup founder, Toni Thai Sterrett, along with technology pioneer Mike Pell, inventor of PDF/Adobe Acrobat & leader of Microsoft's Innovation program in NYC, for an intimate discussion exploring how creators can embrace AI as a tool, not a threat, in the rapidly evolving landscape of entertainment & storytelling.
What We'll Explore:
In this interactive evening, we'll address the real concerns around AI, from environmental impact & energy consumption to ethical considerations in creative work, while demonstrating how you have far more agency than you might think. This isn't about AI replacing human creativity; it's about amplifying your unique voice & vision.
Toni will share insights from her many years as a director, actress, screenwriter, & creative enthusiast turned founder, plus a special surprise. Together with Mike, they'll discuss:
Navigating the intersection of technology & artistry,
Ethical AI practices, Environmental considerations (sustainable tech adoption),
How to make your work stand out.
Practical tools that enhance (not replace) your creative process
Interactive Experience:
The evening will include a sneak peak & live demo of Toni's new storytelling app CinePartna - an AI powered screenwriting app for the future. And also several other featured speakers, & practical takeaways you can implement immediately.
