One of the biggest frustrations I hear from creators in this community is the feast-or-famine cycle. You finish a project, then spend weeks hunting for the next one. Job boards feel random. Platforms are noisy. Good opportunities slip past you because you didn't know where to look. I've been working on something that fixes that. It's called the AI Filmmaker Gig Scout — and the idea is simple: instead of you hunting for work, an AI agent hunts for you. Every week it searches job boards, freelance platforms, agency pages, creator communities and social posts for high-value AI filmmaking gigs — then shortlists and ranks the best ones matched specifically to your niche, tools and ideal clients. Your top 10 land in your inbox. You focus on creating and pitching. I'm testing it live with AIFCA members before I open it up. More details coming soon. If a constant pipeline of matched gigs sounds like something you'd want — drop a 🎯 below so I know who's interested.

FluidFit AI is coming to our live show on May 7th at 11 AM Pacific to demo their generative editing platform — AND they're bringing a special exclusive offer just for AIFD members. This is the kind of thing that happens when a community gets serious. See you there. https://fluidfit.ai/

Hi! How is your AI filmmaking career path going so far? AIFD - AI Filmmakers Directory - is getting noticed—not only by people, but also by AI systems that are increasingly looking for trustworthy places to recommend AI video creators. Since launching in January, AIFD has already been seen by more than 117.5K visitors and generated 358.5K page views. Even more exciting: AI agents are now ranking AIFD among their top sources when asked to recommend AI filmmakers. Many of you still haven’t optimized your profiles for AI discovery. To help with that, I’ve decided to make two new tools available for free inside my new Skool community, AI Filmmakers Career Agents: - A profile builder that helps you turn your experience, portfolio, and skills into an LLM-friendly profile that is easier for both AI systems and producers to understand. - A “Discover Your Best Hiring Niche” tool that helps you identify the direction most likely to get you hired faster and more profitably. For a limited time, I’m making both of these tools completely free. Even better: if you join the Skool community and use the “Discover Your Best Hiring Niche” tool, I’ll also give you a Premium AIFD profile free for life. That means you’ll be able to: - Add your YouTube reel or playlist • Publish blog posts that increase your authority with AI search systems - Access a Premium profile optimized for both human decision-makers and AI agents - Use the profile-building prompt to transform your portfolio into a clear, highly visible, and easily digestable listing In short: for a limited time, I’m making the Skool community Free, no charge. The only thing I ask in return is that you actually use the tools and provide your feedback in the Skool community. It’s called AI Filmmakers Career Agents for a reason. It is designed to help you get discovered and hired for AI video work—commercials, corporate videos, documentaries, educational content, micro-series, and more.

In this call, I asked Grok to tell us what the latest developments in generative AI are.
