Whether you've been prepping for weeks or you just signed up and have absolutely no idea what you're doing, this is the session that gets you ready. Come find out who you're up against, get hands-on with the tool you'll be using to compete, and leave with every question answered before the clock starts.
📅 Date: July 7
🎟️ Who's invited: All registered directors, hub leaders, and anyone AI-curious enough to want in
📍 Format: Live session — opening ceremony, workshop, and open Q&A
What to expect:
🚀 Opening Ceremony The official kickoff. We'll walk through how the bracket works, what the rules are, how scoring and advancement work round to round, and who's facing who. If you want to know what you're actually walking into, this is where you find out.
🛠️ OpenArt Director Tool Workshop A full hands-on walkthrough of the Director tool — the AI filmmaking tool you'll be using to actually make your submission. We'll cover the basics for total beginners, a few tricks for people who've already poked around, and the common mistakes that trip people up in round one. No prior experience needed.
❓ Live Q&A Open floor. Ask us anything — about the tool, the rules, the bracket, your odds, your prompt-writing technique, whatever's on your mind. We'll answer it live, and if it's funny, we might make fun of you a little. That's the deal.
Why you should actually show up:
✅ Get comfortable with the tool before the pressure's on
✅ Understand exactly how the bracket and scoring work, so there are no surprises
✅ Meet the filmmakers you'll be competing against — and the ones in your corner
✅ Ask the questions you've been sitting on
✅ Walk away knowing exactly what round one requires of you
There are no do-overs once the bracket locks. Come prepared, come curious, and come ready to find out who's actually qualifying for this thing.
