PJ Ace's AI Filmmaking Process: From Concept to Finished Short

​You have a story idea. Maybe even a script. But when it comes to actually making it with AI — where do you start? What do you prompt? How do you know when it's working?

​In this live workshop, one of the most experienced AI filmmakers working today opens up his entire creative process — from developing the narrative concept to crafting prompts, iterating through what isn't working, and arriving at a finished short. No theory. No polished highlight reel. Just the real workflow, live and unfiltered.

​This session is part of the Future Vision XPRIZE — a $3.5M+ global competition challenging filmmakers to create 3-minute sci-fi trailers envisioning an optimistic future for humanity. Grand prize: $2.5M toward producing your film (up to $15M total budget via Range Media + Republic Film), plus $100K cash. Submissions close August 15, 2026.

​If you're building an AI film for FVXP or just trying to close the gap between what you imagine and what you can actually make, this is the session that shows you how it's done.
