Becoming a regular at Future Film is the best and most impactful move I’ve made in my AI education. I feel grateful for every member who shares their musings and discoveries each week. We are all learning these tools from scratch, and seeing the process through the eyes of our peers is the greatest hack I have found to stay confident and current in a space that’s constantly re-inventing itself.

David Abelson has created FF, a community of traditional media experts and artists who are interested in learning more about AI, its capabilities, its limits, and how, when utilized, it can aid in storytelling. The community shares its knowledge with one another, its experiences. Overall, it’s quite nurturing, educational and comprised of friendly people. I cannot recommend FF enough.

Future Film is without a doubt, the premier learning institution for AI filmmaking. The program was created by filmmakers for filmmakers, and is staffed by teachers who are both incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly generous with that knowledge. Best yet, the knowledge they are sharing was hard earned, as they were literally among the first professional AI filmmakers in the industry, and now clearly stand out among the very best. If you’re serious about learning AI filmmaking, Future Film is the best place to do it.

...The Future Film community has been a game changer. The people I’ve met have been incredibly kind, smart as hell, and the knowledge they share has been priceless. ...And my lack of sleep on Tuesday nights is directly because of how excited I am after each meeting. But keep it up. I’ll sleep later.

Future Film cuts through the noise. It’s a place to connect with people who understand the potential, and the challenges, of building in this space. The community support is real, and the energy is consistently inspiring. If you’re serious about filmmaking and AI, it’s where you need to be.
