AI Film Club with Kevin Friel | Dec 10
BC + AI Film Club · Thursday, December 10 · 375 Water St, Vancouver · Doors 6:30 PM
Bring what you're making. Watch what everyone else is.
The last Film Club of the year, back at 375 Water St. It's the monthly room for filmmakers, VFX artists, editors, writers, and creative technologists to screen each other's work, walk through how it was made, and trade the AI tools that are actually holding up. Kevin Friel hosts. You leave with new tools to try, a few people to build with, and a clearer read on what's real versus hype this month.
What happens in the room
Short screenings of member work, with the makers walking through the how.
Live tool demos and workflow walkthroughs: scripting, generation, post, sound.
The month's focus segment, then open floor for questions and collaboration.
Show-and-tell: bring a clip, a work-in-progress, or a problem you're stuck on.
This month: theme and featured makers announced closer to the date.
Who it's for
Filmmakers and creators of every role: directors, editors, cinematographers, VFX and sound people, writers, plus the AI-curious and students figuring out where they fit. All levels. You don't need to make AI films to belong here.
Not a lecture, not a demo-day pitch. A working room where people show real, unfinished stuff.
