What you will master inside the Club.
Story for the algorithm
Every winning film, ad and short reel begins with structure. We teach the timeless story craft, then translate it into AI workflows that compound your output.
Build your AI crew
Build the assistants that ingest, log, color-match and deliver. Claude-powered co-pilots trained for your Avid, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere pipeline. Direct the suite, don't click through it.
The toolkit
Your AI crew. Custom-built.
Each module ships with a working AI assistant you'll build, train and deploy in your real post-production pipeline. The tools that make Avid, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere finally feel like 2026.
No. 01Assistant
Ingest Assistant
Auto-imports camera cards, transcodes proxies, and bins footage with metadata, so the assembly is ready before you sit down at the suite.
For Avid Media Composer · DaVinci Resolve
No. 02Assistant
Daily Logger
Watches dailies, tags shot type, performance and mood, and surfaces selects from a single search. The assistant editor that never sleeps.
For DaVinci Resolve · Premiere
No. 03Assistant
Color Companion
A look-matching agent trained on your reference frames. Sets nodes in DaVinci so the colorist's pass starts from a real intent, not a LUT.
For DaVinci Resolve
No. 04Assistant
Cut Orchestrator
Claude-driven assembly. Aligns selects to the script, builds first-pass cuts, and exports XML for the editor to refine. Hours of work, gone.
For Premiere · Avid
No. 05Assistant
Asset Router
Pipeline automation: from camera card to folder, bin and cloud. Never touch a file system mid-job again. The post-house plumbing, finally invisible.
For any NLE
No. 06Assistant
Render Director
Formats, captions, watermarks, delivers to client portal, social or platform spec, all from one brief. The deliverables stage, automated.

The 2026 opportunity
Filmmaking is becoming a new profession.
For the first time in a century, the cost of a cinematic image has collapsed. The cost of taste has not. Studios, brands and platforms are urgently looking for creators who can direct AI like a director directs a set, and orchestrate the assistants that handle the rest.
Cinematic AI Club is the first institution built for that creator. We treat AI as a camera and a crew. A medium with its own grammar, lighting and choreography, and an army of small assistants ready to ingest, log, color and ship. Master the grammar, and the medium of 2026 is yours.
Learning roadmap
Six months. Six modules. One transformation.
A complete cinematic creator journey, taught in cohorts of fewer than 50. Each module ships with studio assignments, faculty critique, a finished portfolio piece, and a working AI assistant deployed in your real pipeline.
Module 01
Cinematic Prompting
The grammar of cinematic AI: lens, light, lens flare, mise-en-scène, atmosphere. Write prompts the way a director briefs a DP.

Join 800+ filmmakers already inside the Club.
Filmmakers already shaping the new cinema.
Six months ago I was assistant-editing wedding films. This week a fashion brand commissioned a 30-second AI film. The Club didn't teach me to use tools. It taught me to direct.
Léa Marchand
Independent Filmmaker
I came in skeptical. Then I built the Ingest Assistant in module 5 and it cut my prep time in DaVinci by 60%. Suddenly the AI talk wasn't talk.
Daniel Ortega
Senior Editor
The prompting modules alone are worth the cohort. I'd been guessing for months. Now I'm composing.
Aïsha Bello
Director of Photography
What I love is the cinema-first vocabulary. It's not 'AI tools'. It's lighting, framing, mise-en-scène, applied to a new medium and a new crew.
Marcus Chen
Filmmaker
I shipped a fully-AI campaign for a beauty client in eleven days. My Cut Orchestrator turned the script into a first-pass assembly overnight.
Inès Caron
Creative Strategist
The community is where the magic compounds. Critique inside the club is sharper than anything I had in film school, and people actually share working code.
Tomás Rivera
Visual Artist
Editorial taste, finally taught. Most courses teach buttons. This one teaches the eye, then automates the buttons.
Yuki Saito
Art Director
Six weeks in I closed my first $18k AI campaign. The roadmap and the assistants are the difference. Without them I'd still be making spec reels.
