Coffee & Content: A.I. For Filmmakers & Writing Motivation

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in.

First up, we're looking at A.I. and its impact on filmmaking in a video from Film Riot. While many fear this new technology, there are some great benefits as well. This video looks at how A.I. can assist with the actual filmmaking process. However, the positives don't exist only during production but before you even start filming back in the development and financing stages, which you can dive into here on Stage 32. 

Next up, if you're looking for a little motivation to finally write down that idea you have, check out this video from Film Courage. In it, the filmmaker interviewed, Robert Rippberger, discusses the idea that if you don't put your story down, it doesn't matter. That doesn't mean people have to see it, or it needs to find its audience. Writing it down means that it matters to you. 

Another way to prioritize your writing (and what matters to you) is to get ahead on your goals for the new year. So, if you haven't read them already, be sure to check out New Year, New Process from screenwriter Shannon K. Valenzuela. And, to help continue to connect and grow our incredible community, I hope you'll join in our Stage 32 Membership Drive Plus Five happening right now! I love celebrating all the successes that Stage 32 has had, but I don't want to slow down now. To do that, we need to keep helping people find all of the incredible resources and opportunities here on Stage 32 and show everyone how we can democratize the industry together. 

As always, here at Stage 32, we love to share stories and knowledge with our fellow film fans. Know someone who would love this content? Share it with them! Tag them below!
