What is GenJam™?

GenJam™ is a hands-on creative jam where participants use generative AI tools to collaboratively produce short films, often in just a few hours.

It's part workshop, part hackathon, and part film festival screening. This format demystifies AI tools by placing them directly into the hands of everyday creators, from first-timers to professionals.

Teams learn, create, and then screen their work together in a joyful, fast-paced environment. Every attendee leaves with a tangible experience and often, a piece of work they helped create.

Why It Works for Your Community

GenJam™ adapts to different audiences while delivering the same core experience: accessible, hands-on AI creativity.
