GenJam: Use AI tools to create a Short Film! @ RTX House @SXSW 2026
Join us for a 3-hour Gen Jam where you’ll team up with other creators to produce a 30-second short film using AI tools. This is not a lecture. It’s a structured creative sprint designed to help you learn practical workflows and immediately apply them.
We’ll begin with a short live demo of the tools and production flow. Then you’ll form teams of 4–6 and build a complete micro-story from concept to final render. At the end, we screen every film.
What to expect
• A clear creative constraint: 30 seconds, strong beginning–middle–end
• Hands-on use of AI image, video, and editing tools
• Team-based collaboration
• A final screening and community voting
Who this is for
• Creators curious about AI storytelling - Open to beginners and advanced folks!
• Filmmakers, designers, technologists
• People comfortable with basic AI tools (advanced beginner to intermediate)
Please Bring!
Your laptop
Empty stomach (we'll provide food and drink)
An open, curious and creative mind
You’ll leave with
• A finished short film
• A repeatable workflow
• New friends & collaborators!
Capacity is limited. Teams will be formed at the event. Please arrive on time and plan to stay for the full session.
