Workshops 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 two ways to learn: a one-off workshop to get you started, or an ongoing cohort where I'll support you to build a full AI system around your goals.
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.
Quick Wins took place on Tuesday 27th October.
I'm currently not planning another session, but you can purchase the replay, step by step guides and additional materials, or it's included in your Get Serious registration.
The best place to start. Get the foundations right and see how AI can help you streamline your admin. We'll get you set up in Claude, and build something you can use straight away.
What we covered
- The basics of Claude and how to set up the platform
- What actually happens to your data
- How to set boundaries for your personal use of AI
- Connecting your email, calendar, to do list and other tools
- Creating a Skill that you can use to streamline regular tasks
- Creating a mini dashboard Artifact to refer to within Claude
- Automating a scheduled task
Follow along with customised demo prompts and walk away with processes you can start using immediately, plus the knowledge to take more tasks off your plate.
What attendees said
The prompts and instruction are so helpful, and the information around safety and privacy has made things less scary.
Very empowering. Excellent hands-on demo and example prompts, and docs relevant to the screen industry. Confidence building, too.
Great to hear this information in a practical, screen specific context. So important to open up the discussion so we understand the pros and the cons.
So valuable, and opened my eyes to the relevance as a producer juggling several projects at once.
Super helpful to learn how to set boundaries for my own AI use.
Appreciate you walking us through with specifics for the film industry.
* Join Get Serious and you'll also get free access to the 2.5 hour Quick Wins recording.
Highly recommended: a Claude Pro account ($34/month, or $28/month on an annual subscription). A Pro account is required to use Claude Cowork. For two or more people, consider Team seats.
Thursdays, 12 November to 17 December, 3:30pm to 5pm AEDT
90 minutes a week, plus optional office hours and online support. Replays and portal access available for 6 months.
Want accountability and support to build a customised AI system, in a small cohort of other filmmakers who get it? Together, we'll go deeper into Claude Chat and Claude Cowork, and learn to use Claude Code to build apps, tools and websites that live outside your personal Claude platform and can be shared with others.
With step-by-step demonstrations, shared prompts and individual support from me (Kirsty), this isn't just about how to use AI, but how to make it align with your current goals and the way you already work.
We'll start with the end in mind, looking at what you're trying to achieve and what it will mean to get there, then reverse engineer an AI system to help make it happen.
Along the way, I'll walk you through setups like:
- A second brain to capture all of your notes, meetings and project data
- A team of agents to manage repeated tasks across your projects
- A finance tracker that covers multiple bank accounts or budgets and flags any relevant changes
- An accountability tool that integrates with your email and to do list to keep you on track
- A dashboard to track and manage your projects
- A website or online app that updates automatically with your live information
Plus: custom prompts and instructions, online office hours with me (Kirsty) for extra support, and a space to build alongside others in the industry.
* Includes free access to the 2.5 hour Quick Wins recording. Need to spread the cost? There's a payment plan.
Highly recommended: a Claude Pro account ($34/month, or $28/month on an annual subscription). A Pro account is required to use Claude Cowork and Claude Code. For two or more people, consider Team seats.
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.
Some of the issues we'll work through
When I've spoken to people across the industry about AI, these are the concerns that have come up most:
- I'm wary of sharing private data and not knowing where it ends up
- I'm worried about copyright and IP issues
- I'm concerned about bias or unverified information in the content AI generates
- I'm still working out my moral and ethical boundaries around AI
- I don't know how I'll be perceived in the industry for using AI
- I'm worried about the environmental impact
