Bolton's emergent filmmakers worked with mentor Javi de Prado to master machine learning tools for film production, blending themed story-telling, original footage and generative AI outputs. Results debuted at Bolton Film Festival.
CREATIVES NOW proudly facilitated an inspiring month-long online film programme for budding filmmakers aged 12-14. Under the mentorship of Spanish director and VFX specialist, Javier de Prado, participants explored the art of filmmaking. The journey began with the development of captivating narratives for their short films, fostering their storytelling skills.
In a cutting-edge twist, young filmmakers explored new generative AI software, gaining insights into the innovative intersection of technology and creativity.
