AI for Filmmakers
Learn to build with AI
Streamline your admin. Keep your creative work human.
AI for Filmmakers is designed to take some of your repetitive tasks off of your plate so you can focus on the parts of your job that you love... or just find an extra 30 minutes for yourself.
Hi, I'm Kirsty Stark
I'm an Emmy award-winning producer, startup founder, speaker, podcast host and screen industry leader. You can read more about me here.
I've been using AI since the week ChatGPT launched, initially to research and delegate smaller tasks, and am now using Claude on more complex automations and dashboards to stay on top of multiple projects.
Like most of us in the industry, I'm juggling multiple projects with limited time and resources. I'm balancing work and family commitments with producing work, a weekly podcast, volunteer roles and an industry start-up.
I have a very clear vision of what I want to achieve in the industry, and am using AI to support my admin processes and keep me accountable, NOT to do the creative, human-led work where I believe I can best contribute.
How am I using AI?
AI has been a game-changer for me in finally feeling like I'm on top of things, instead of scrambling to stay afloat. Here are just a few examples of what I've built this year:
- A weekly accountability routine that tracks my calendar and to do list and sets me up for success
- A conference planning tool that made me a personalised Screen Forever program based on my goals and projects: highlighting sessions, delegates and meetings to book, and offering background research.
- A company website for Epic Films
- A finance dashboard that tracks all of my project budgets and accounts and lets me know when something needs attention
- A website and connected dashboard for We Interrupt This Broadcast that automates and streamlines many of our background admin tasks, from episode planning through to scheduling and promotion
- Iris, a personal dashboard that brings all of my projects and knowledge together as a 'second brain'
I know we're all worried about how AI will affect us as an industry, and I'm not here to try and shift your personal boundaries or world view.
What I want to do is share what's possible and open up a conversation around the potential grey areas you might run into, so you can make clear decisions about how and when you want to use different AI tools... if at all.
Built especially for the industry, by someone who gets it
In early September I spoke at Screenworks' Regional to Global conference about the ways I'm using AI, and have since connected with over 100 of you from across the screen industry about what you want to learn, and what your hesitations are.
Based on that feedback, I've designed four ways to work together: a one-off workshop to get you started, an ongoing cohort, one to one coaching, or a Build Day where I set up the foundations of your system for you.
You don't need a technical background. Instead, bring your own experience, knowledge and vision for the work you want to do, so we can set you up for success without compromising your values.
I'll be combining my experience as a producer, AI builder, leadership coach and screen industry mentor to help you use AI in a way that balances your ambition with your boundaries.
What people have said
Thank you for your generosity of information, and for having such a human, ethical approach to this process.
The prompts and instruction are so helpful, and the information around safety and privacy has made things less scary.
We spoke to you at nine this morning, and then you've just come back with that! It's wild.
Your ability to articulate your process, break a problem down and share the solution is a rare thing.
Great to hear this information in a practical, screen specific context.
You are so generous with your time and knowledge.
Is this right for you?
(the anti-AI slop test)
I'm a believer in human-led work, and the way we create and put things out into the world is important to me. Just because you can make something with AI doesn't mean you should... and if you're looking to use AI as a way to replace your creativity or stand in for genuine human interactions, you're probably not going to resonate with the way I teach.
AI as a research, support and accountability tool that supplements your best work? Great!
Replacing yourself with generic content to spam others' inboxes or social media feeds and detract from genuine human connection? This might not be the right fit.
