New Tools, New Voices: Emerging Filmmakers and AI, presented by Adobe
The filmmaking toolkit is expanding fast—and AI is changing what’s possible at each stage. Join Adobe and the award-winning Sarofsky team to learn how they’re exploring AI daily: where it accelerates craft, introduces new creative choices, and how filmmakers can engage responsibly as part of an ethical, artist-first workflow. Discover practical approaches on how to use generative AI with Adobe Firefly and Premiere that can be adapted to your projects, from ideation through completion.
This workshop will be presented with Open Captions.
Presenters
Karina Anglada currently serves as a Strategic Development Manager with Adobe Pro Video where she works closely with post-production professionals across the video industry. She is an award-winning editor, and prior to joining Adobe, worked with multiple professional sports teams.
Ryan Summers specializes in crafting in-real-life digital experiences that are equal parts cinematic and strategic. From Warner Bros.’ first hotel in Abu Dhabi (where he delivered a feature film’s worth of animation for under $2M) to Arctic-inspired flagship stores, his work bridges the gap between brand and architecture— translating ethos into environments by fusing cutting-edge tech with a deep curiosity for worldbuilding. Whether working with lifestyle icons like Canada Goose, entertainment giants like Warner Bros., or gaming leaders like Blizzard, he partners with brands ready to create spaces where audiences feel seen, inspired, and part of something bigger. He is currently collaborating with the fine folks at SAROFSKY as their Creative Innovation Lead.
