Future Film: How to Go From Editor to Running an AI Studio
Raffi Asdourian worked as an editor in New York production for decades, and he's one of the earliest OG members of the Future Film community. Then he made the jump. He went all in on AI-powered production, and it opened up a new kind of career, the kind a lot of people in this room are trying to figure out how to build.
He teamed up with a high school buddy, Jesse Catlin, another OG Future Film member whose story says a lot about thriving in this space. Jesse became one of the top Sora creators worldwide, then watched OpenAI pull the rug out and shut it down, cutting off the exact thing he'd built his momentum on. Instead of stalling, he pivoted hard into Claude, agent development and optimized AI workflows and came out stronger.
Together they founded Prompt Delivery, an AI studio making broadcast-quality video for major brands. This Tuesday, they're pulling back the curtain on how.
They'll show us the real work they're delivering to clients right now: from bringing storyboards to life for high end commercials, to creating broadcast commercials for the World Cup, and then showcasing a trailer for a new Ai web-series, Silencers, and their updated company reel.
Then they'll take us inside the workflow behind it, from creative brief to concepts, prompts, shots, revisions, and client-ready delivery, using the Claude-based system they built.
If you're an editor trying to make this transition yourself, this session shows what it takes: how your existing instincts, story judgment, taste, structure, and client experience, translate into this new kind of work, and how Raffi and Jesse have turned those skills into a real working business.
You'll see the work, the workflow, and how the business runs, from two people who started right where you are.
Come see how it's done. Bring your questions. See you Tuesday night.
