Ready to level up? This session gets into the real workflow stuff – how to use AI to help write (or rewrite) scenes, punch up dialogue that feels flat, and identify those pesky plot holes before anyone else does. I’ll share my speech-to-text setup that lets me “write” while walking around my living room, and show you how to maintain your authentic voice while using AI to overcome the obstacles that typically slow you down.

 

Session 4: Stretch that Buck – Film Budgeting 101

In this final masterclass, we’ll explore how these tools extend beyond writing into other parts of production. I’ll demonstrate how I use AI for quick storyboarding, creating concept images to help visualize scenes, transcribing interviews, and even preliminary budget planning. You’ll see examples from my recent projects where these techniques saved time and money while opening up new creative possibilities.
