About genClass
genClass is gen's series of live masterclasses where top AI video creators and artists share their workflows, strategies, ideas, challenges, and solutions helping shape the future of content, marketing, and media.
Each session is designed for practical learning and learning conversations with the community.
About the Creator
While some filmmakers leverage AI to enhance their storytelling, others use compelling narratives to elevate the technology itself. Steffin Fleckinger masterfully does both. Arcade Studios praises him for "changing the landscape of AI filmmaking," noting how his genius storytelling and nuanced editing effectively destroy the uncanny valley of artificial intelligence. From the jaw-dropping twists of his film Feedback to the heart-thumping suspense of Go to Hell, Fleckinger's work consistently leaves audiences anticipating his next revolutionary project.
Session: Writing with AI
In this genClass, AI creator Steffin Flickinger breaks down how to write with AI instead of against it — teaching you how to craft stories that play into the medium’s strengths rather than its current limitations. He’ll walk through why today’s models behave more like stage plays than fully cinematic storytellers, and how using strong narrative formulas, “telling that feels like showing,” and format-aware writing can turn those constraints into creative advantages.
You’ll learn how consistent practice sharpens your instincts, how writing even a one-minute short each week can transform your output, and how to choose (and combine) the right models for the right tasks — from using VEO or Kling for precise dialogue, action, or camera direction to relying on Midjourney for aesthetic power. Whether you’re a screenwriter, creator, or filmmaker exploring AI, this session will show you how to shape stories that work beautifully because of AI’s quirks — not in spite of them.
