I don't even know what TOPIC to put this in. Would love anyone's input in how they handle prospects who refuse to work with anyone using AI.
My gut is telling me to just move on. But maybe others have better ideas.
I’m currently developing several story ideas. Some are still at the concept stage, while a few already exist as short synopses where the overall narrative is outlined, including the beginning, the central plot development, and the ending. Most of these ideas fall within the science fiction adventure genre.
I’m curious what the usual approach is today when presenting or pitching a story idea for a film or TV project.
Is it typically done through a pitch deck, a short treatment, a series bible, or some combination of these, possibly including visual elements such as storyboard frames or a short comic-book style sequence to help present the story?
I would also appreciate hearing what formats or approaches are currently considered the most common and widely accepted when presenting an original project.
I loved reading about your history in the arts Darko. We ALL have so much to learn and it's wonderful when we can share ideas and learn together - makes it so much more enjoyable :) Blessings! Nancy
Hi everyone, I’m David (AKA CGI Priest), a Creative Director and AI filmmaker based in Nairobi.
I work at the intersection of AI and cinematic storytelling, using generative tools to create films, visuals, and narrative worlds that would normally require large production budgets. My background is in film and TV production across Africa, and lately I’ve been exploring how AI is transforming the way stories are developed, produced, and distributed.
I work across AI prompting, visual generation, editing, and story development, and I’m particularly interested in building original IP and cinematic short films using AI-driven workflows.
Excited to connect with other creators pushing the boundaries of AI filmmaking and storytelling.
Hi everyone I am from India, I create websites and films with AI, if something not works best in AI, then I have traditional expertise as well, such as complete working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud & Figma, WordPress

Hi Evan, great question and one we almost always have to answer unfortunately. While we can never know the motives of other people we can know whether or not we want to interact with them and let them enter our thoughts and space. Personally, I don't. So my solution is very simple - I block and delete. :) Blessings! Nancy
