The Synthetic Screen - Legal Boundaries of AI Film

Thanks to those who came out for this educational evening on AI with Jeff Deverett. Lots of great questions, and many insights into the impact of AI on production. Thank you, Jeff!

How to Run a Commercial Shoot Like a Pro

Save the date!

Friday, Feb 27 - 6:30pm

A boots-on-the-ground talk for anyone looking to trade "controlled panic" for controlled execution on set.

Whether you’re a creative, producer, content creator or director leveling up from scrappy shoots to real budgets, this session covers some of the systems that can save the day, and ensure you’re actually delivering on your vision. 

We’ll blend leadership mindset with battle-tested logistics: how to bulletproof your prep, align your crew, make smart casting moves, and navigate the client relationship without losing your cool. 

You’ll leave with a practical framework to make your next shoot day more collaborative, more creative, and significantly less stressful.

Holiday Sync-Up 2025: It’s a wrap!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our most anticipated mixer of the year, a final chance in 2025 to connect with fellow media pros, celebrate a successful year, and enjoy the holiday spirit. Novo Brazil Brewing in Mission Valley was a terrific location, with great beverages, an appetizer buffet and two large screens where we showcased work from our members and behind-the-scenes photos!

A special thank you to Tony Amat from R3 Productions for capturing photos from the event. See the photo gallery!

And thanks to you, for filling our Toys for Tots boxes!
