Hello Friend

Over the past few months, we’ve been teaching a course called AI for Creative Leaders—and it’s been one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever been part of.

We’ve built custom GPTs for storytelling, trained image models for visual consistency, created short films from simple prompts, and explored the ethical questions that come with these new tools. It’s a deep dive into what it means to stay creative with AI, not in spite of it.

Last week we wrapped up the final presentations from our first cohort of the Academy.

A room full of product designers, photographers, VFX supervisors, creative directors — each sharing the work they built over just a few weeks.
Music videos. Short films. Ten-minute narratives.
Every project was different, but they had one thing in common: they were polished, professional, and made with the help of AI.

And now, in that same spirit, we’re opening the doors for the next round.
If you’ve been curious, this is your chance to see it up close.

We’re running two free lightning sessions to show you exactly what happens inside the Academy.

What we prepared for the coming weeks

Live Session: Create Professional Videos in ComfyUI
Learn how to generate cinematic, stylized videos using ComfyUI.
You’ll learn:

• What is possible with local video generation

• Best models and workflows

• Step by step walkthrough of generating videos

Live Session: Train your own image models from scratch
This session breaks down the full image model training process — step by step.
We’ll walk through:

• When to train vs. use existing models

• Dataset curation

• Step-by-step training process

Each session is 60 minutes, totally free, and designed to help you decide if the course is right for you.

Course: AI for Creative Leaders
We will teach everything essential to use AI as a professional in your industry - legal, privacy, client and team communication, creative process, strategic integration, model training, tools across text, image, video, sound. It’s a deep dive into what it means to stay creative with AI, not in spite of it.

Course: Advanced ComfyUI
We’ll teach you how to use ComfyUI, a powerful node-based interface to:

• Install ComfyUI locally or use it in a cloud

• Manage and install custom nodes

• in-depth walkthrough of 9 workflows for images and videos

• Creating custom nodes

• Deploying workflows as an API.

What you’ll actually learn inside the Academy

This isn’t a course where you watch videos and hope it clicks.

It’s hands-on. Project-based.
You show up, you build — and by the end, you walk away with something real.

Here’s what that looked like in our first cohort:

You’ll design your own creative workflow
One student built a modular pipeline to generate 10-minute animated films.
Another created a showreel using their own trained model and stylized prompts.

Whether it’s a motion reel, music video, or image set — you’ll define your vision and learn how to build the system to make it happen.

You’ll learn how tools actually work (not just where to click)
We teach the logic behind tools like ComfyUI, ControlNet, and LoRA training.
So when something breaks — you’ll know how to fix it.
And when you want to get more ambitious — you’ll know where to go next.

You’ll work on one big personal project, step by step
Each course is structured around a final piece.
You’ll scope the idea, build the process, and publish the result — with feedback along the way.

You’ll get support from people in the same space
Not just hobbyists.
You’ll be learning alongside photographers, VFX supervisors, creative directors — people who use this work professionally and want to go deeper.

This isn’t about chasing trends or copying prompts.
It’s about building the tools you need — and understanding how to use them with clarity.

If you’ve been curious about using AI in your creative work — now’s a great time to jump in.

Our next cohorts of AI for Creative Leaders and Advanced ComfyUI are open.

You’ll learn to create work that’s not just visually strong — but technically sound and personally meaningful.

Would love to see you in class. 🤗
