🎬Now What? The CLOWD Vertuoso Workshop with Q Zhang
You have a story. How do you turn it into a finished microdrama—and what happens after you do?
Join LeyLine founder Qiushi “Q” Zhang for the official LeyLine training workshop for the CLOWD Vertuoso Microdrama Challenge, presented by CLOWD Vertuoso × LeyLine × GenFlix.
We’ll walk through building a two-episode entry live, from script to export. Then we’ll tackle the next question: how AI filmmaking work gets paid, where the opportunities are, and what Hollywood professionals moving into AI need from creators.
What we’ll cover
Script to screen: Move through scripting, shot breakdowns, character and world design, keyframes, animation, editing, and export.
Make your credits count: Plan your shots, keep your characters consistent, and avoid spending credits on preventable retries.
What comes next: Explore brand commissions, distribution, festivals, and opportunities to work with writers and producers.
Live Q&A: Bring your story idea, challenge entry, or questions about building a career in AI filmmaking.
Free to join. Every participant in the competition gets 100 LeyLine platform credits to help make their entry.
About the challenge
Create two vertical episodes, 60–120 seconds each, incorporating the line “One more thing.” Entries close November 8, 2026.
