​Join us for a private creator gathering hosted by Jon Flynn, Head of FoxNXT at FOX Entertainment, focused entirely on the evolving craft of AI-assisted animation.

​This invite-only event will bring together animators, filmmakers, artists, creative technologists, FOX executives, and AI-native storytellers exploring how emerging tools can support the animation process—from early concepts through final delivery.

​The program will examine the complete AI-assisted animation pipeline, including:

• ​Concept and story development

• ​Character and world design

• ​Storyboarding and animatics

• ​Asset creation and visual development

• ​Animation, motion, and performance

• ​Collaboration across creative and technical teams

• ​The integration of traditional craft with emerging tools

​AI-Assisted Animated Short Showcase

​The evening will include a curated screening of original AI-assisted animated shorts selected through an open submission process.

​This is a showcase—not a competition.

​Selected creators may receive:

• ​A screening of their work at the FOX event

• ​An introduction before their film

• ​Opportunities to meet FOX executives and animation professionals

• ​Promotion through FoxNXT and FBRC.ai channels

​Networking Reception

​The program will conclude with a reception for creators, FOX executives, animation professionals, creative technologists, and invited guests.

​FOX Entertainment is hosting this community-focused gathering to meet creators, learn from people actively developing AI-assisted animation pipelines, and explore how these tools may open new possibilities for animated storytelling.

​Call for Participation

​We invite creators to submit original AI-assisted animated shorts for consideration. A small number of projects will be hand-selected and presented during the event as a curated look at the work being created in this emerging field.
