About this Event

Join us in person for an exciting live event hosted by Marmel.ai and DogTown Film Studio.

Explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping storytelling and how AI-driven films can be funded, supported, and monetized in today’s evolving cinema landscape. Whether you’re a filmmaker, writer, technologist, or investor, this event dives into both creative innovation and real-world sustainability.

The event takes place inside a real working film studio with more than 15 professional movie sets, creating a one-of-a-kind immersive experience.


What You’ll Learn

At the event, you’ll learn how Marmel.ai helps AI-driven movie creators turn ideas into viable projects by bridging the gap between vision, audience, and revenue.

Key topics include:

  • How creators can monetize AI-driven film projects early, even before full production
  • Using crowdfunding to validate ideas, attract first supporters, and reduce financial risk
  • Gathering early audience feedback to shape stories that people are willing to support
  • Building community-driven momentum that leads to long-term monetization opportunities

Marmel.ai also helps early-stage creators close critical gaps by offering:

  • Education and strategic guidance
  • Story positioning and packaging for supporters and investors
  • Social media and audience-building strategies
  • Access to tools, discounts, and hands-on operational support
  • Practical execution help such as website building and campaign setup


DogTown Film Studio will share how a real film studio is blending AI innovation with traditional filmmaking and where monetization fits into both worlds. You’ll hear insights on:

  • How AI can complement (not replace) traditional production pipelines
  • Where studios see commercial potential for AI-assisted films
  • New and emerging revenue models for AI-generated and hybrid film projects

Their perspective on the future of AI cinema, and how money flows through it, may surprise you.

  • AI-era filmmakers looking to fund and monetize their work
  • Creators exploring sustainable income models for AI content
  • Film professionals integrating AI into traditional cinema
  • Investors interested in AI film, content monetization, and new market opportunities
  • Anyone curious about the business, challenges, and opportunities of AI-powered filmmaking
