Build a release-ready AI microdrama series — from zero to studio

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.

Why this Intensive?

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.

  • Produce a complete 10-episode AI microdrama series.
  • Build an original IP ready for distribution and future expansion.
  • Learn how to think and operate like an independent AI-native studio.

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.

What you'll create

A completed 10-episode original AI microdrama series
A consistent production pipeline capable of supporting future seasons
