GenJam: Build a YouTube Channel That Runs While You Sleep!
🗓️ June 25 · 10 AM PT 1 PM ET / 6 PM London 7 PM Munich 📍 Online — join from anywhere 🎟️ Free · RSVP required
Show up with an idea. Leave with a continuously running channel.
This is a live, hands-on GenJam: three hours to go from a blank page to a real episodic YouTube channel — built start to finish, with you in the director's chair.
You'll define a world, its characters, and its plotlines, then direct Popcorn's Showrunner agent to produce new episodes from your vision. Full human-in-the-loop control the whole way: you set the direction, refine in real time or over time, and ship. Popcorn keeps your characters, sets, and narrative continuity consistent across episodes — so what you start tonight can keep running long after.
What you'll do
Build your world: concept, characters, tone, plotlines
Direct the Showrunner to generate your first episodes
Edit and refine live via chat
Publish a real channel by the end of the session
The prize The best channel of the night wins $500 in Popcorn credits and a feature across our social channels.
