The AI Filmmaking Challenge is open: direct your first short film

Stop chatting with AIPut it to work

Courses for founders who want AI to do real work: agents that run the week, projects that remember, short films you direct. You write every prompt, and every one is checked

8 courses, 56 lessons, 8 to 11 minutes each

    From chat to agents in four steps

    Most people stop at chatting. The courses take you all the way to AI that works while you don’t

    1. 1

      Ask better

      Chat

      Context, follow-ups, checking the answer. The habits that make every reply useful

    2. 2

      Brief like a pro

      Prompt

      Role, reader, format and a limit. A brief that lands on the first try

    3. 3

      Give it a desk

      Project

      A project remembers your files and instructions, so you never paste the same context again

    4. 4

      Let it run

      Agent

      A workflow that starts on its own, checks its work and hands you the result

    Build an agent that runs your Monday

    In “Self-running tools” you spot the work you repeat, wire it into a workflow, teach it to check itself and share it with the team

    • Starts on a schedule
    • Checks its own work
    • Handles errors
    • Shared with the team

    Story first

    An idea becomes six beats, then six scenes you can shoot

    2

    One look

    A single style for every shot, so the film holds together

    Credits under control

    Estimate the cost of every take before you generate

    4

    Your first clip

    Shot prompts graded like any practice, then you roll

    Not a library to browse. A path to finish

    Pick your role and start where it pays off first. “Continue” always brings you back to the lesson you left

    A path built around your role

    Three courses in the order that gets you to a finished project fastest

    Day 7 · Projects that remember

    Graded, not watched

    Your prompt is checked line by line, with a hint for anything missing

    • Gives the model a role

    From day 7, Projects that remember

    Try a practice right here

    Write the instructions for a project and watch the criteria light up as you type. Stuck? Start with “Act as my editor…”

    On this page the grade is a quick check for the key ideas; in the app your prompt is read against the same criteria

    0 of 4 criteria met
    • Gives the model a role
    • Names the reader
    • Sets the format
    • Sets a limit

    Every lesson ends with something you made

    A task done, a brief written, a spreadsheet cleaned, a scene shot. Not a quiz score

    Questions before you start

    Do I need to know how to code?

    No. The courses are about getting work done with AI tools: writing, spreadsheets, research, automation, film and music. Where a lesson needs a tool, the intro says which one

    What does “agent” mean here?

    A workflow that starts on its own, does a job with AI, checks the result and hands it over, like a status update drafted and posted every Monday. You build one in “Self-running tools”

    Can I really make a film without a crew?

    A short one, yes. The Filmmaking Challenge takes you from an idea to six scenes, a shot list in one style, a credits budget and your first clip

    How is my practice graded?

    Each practice has a short list of criteria, shown before you start. Your prompt is read against them; for anything missing you get a hint and can try again

    How long is a lesson?

    Eight to eleven minutes. A page with a question or a practice waits until you have done it, so the time is spent doing, not scrolling

    Can I keep what I learn?

    Yes. Every lesson ends with a “Skill unlocked” cheat sheet you can save and come back to
