Empowering Africa's Next-Gen Filmmakers with AI

The Challenge

In a rapidly evolving global creative landscape, African filmmakers face a critical gap: access to advanced AI tools, ethical production pipelines, and industry-standard mentorship that can accelerate content creation and enhance market competitiveness. The demand for high-quality, fast-turnaround audiovisual content is surging, yet many talented creatives lack the structured exposure and resources to harness the full potential of AI.

My Solution

The AI Filmmaker Workshop is a transformative 10-day intensive program designed to bridge this gap. As curriculum designer and lead facilitator, I partnered with leading organizations to equip a cohort of 15 creatives with responsible AI production pipelines. Participants work in peer-pairs — leveraging ChatGPT, Krea.ai, ElevenLabs, and Suno to master AI-assisted art direction, story development, and sound design — moving beyond theory into practical, client-ready workflows.
