Yes we took the original AI Filmmaking course a few years ago, and it's incredible to see how much things have grown since then! Tons of resources.
Get a membership or bundle courses together (we suggest AI Screenwriting + Filmmaking), here's the link for everyone: CuriousRefuge.com

Really fun chatting with the @WriteOnSaga team! They brought us way back to the early days of Curious Refuge, why we started it, and how much has changed since.
Looking back, it's pretty wild how far things have come. It's been so special seeing this community grow, and we're grateful for everyone who's been along for the ride!
"Make something. Don’t be a film talker. Be a filmmaker." 😄
How do you go from experimenting with AI to actually landing jobs? In Ep. 45 of Brothers' Saga, we sat down with @calebwward to discuss how @CuriousRefuge is raising the floor for AI filmmakers and creatives everywhere.

One of the coolest things about hybrid filmmaking is being able to preserve a real actor's performance while changing everything around them.
Here's a test where we turned simple greybox footage shot @promise_ai into a cinematic cliffside scene using AI.
Check out the 🧵 below for the exact steps and prompts we used in this workflow.
Check out the Brothers' Saga podcast this week featuring @CuriousRefuge's Caleb Ward.

Join us live online tomorrow, Tuesday, October 20th at 11am PT / 2pm ET for "Micro-Drama, Now What? Life After Episode One" featuring Q Zhang.
In this workshop, Leyline founder Q Zhang draws on real creator case studies — shows that went from idea to finished, distributed, and commissioned, and the ones that stalled along the way — to break down what actually holds a micro-drama series together after episode one.
Students can RSVP here: portal.curiousrefuge.com/c/s…

One of the takeaways I shared during AI Creator Day is that AI might change how we create, but what makes great content hasn’t changed.
It’s still about understanding who you’re creating for, making something genuinely useful, and hopefully inspiring people along the way.
Loved getting to spend the day with so many filmmakers and creators exploring where all of this is headed. Lots of great conversations, cool projects, and new ways of thinking about what’s possible with these tools.
Huge thanks to @TheWrap and What’s Trending for having me! @promise_ai
