An advanced production incubator for creators ready to move beyond the basics of AI filmmaking. Over the program, participants transform an original concept into a completed 10-episode vertical microdrama series, ready for distribution — through weekly lectures, production milestones, and one-on-one mentorship.
Invite-based program — registering interest doesn't guarantee a seat.
The biggest challenge facing creators isn't generating one impressive video. It's consistently producing professional-quality stories at scale. Unlike the Masterclass, which teaches the complete AI production workflow, the Intensive assumes participants already understand it — the focus shifts from learning the tools to applying them consistently while producing a full season under experienced mentors.
By the end of the program, participants won't simply have completed a project — they'll have built the foundation for a long-term creative practice.
Designed primarily for graduates of the AI Microdrama Masterclass who are ready to continue developing their series. Applicants should understand the complete AI production workflow and have experience creating AI-generated episodes.

Milestone: Complete Episodes 4–10.
Transform ten individual episodes into one cohesive season.
Milestone: Complete the finished season.
Prepare your series for public release.
Milestone: Develop a launch plan for your series.
The Intensive concludes with a showcase celebrating each creator's completed season — a chance to celebrate the completion of the program, receive final feedback, and connect with fellow creators and invited industry professionals.
Outstanding participants may be invited to become Leyline Certified AI Microdrama Instructors — recognizing creators with exceptional creative work, a strong understanding of the AI microdrama workflow, and the ability to mentor others.
Certified instructors become eligible for future paid teaching opportunities through Leyline, including workshops, masterclasses, and other educational programs — building a network of experienced creators who help teach and inspire the next generation of storytellers.
