Nejc Susec

I explore the transformative power of AI and its impact on storytelling. My journey has taken me from Hollywood movie productions to collaborating on innovative campaigns for companies like Coca-Cola. I've taught designers, award-winning filmmakers, and creative directors how to harness AI while preserving their unique voices.

At the heart of my work is a belief that technology should enhance, not replace, our human creativity. I focus on helping storytellers create more impactful content with faster production times, all while maintaining the essence of their narratives.

Luka Tisler

I am an experienced educator and visual AI specialist with 15 years of background in video post-production, design, and animation. Since 2022, I have been at the forefront of the AI creative revolution, mastering tools like Stable Diffusion, Flux, Midjourney, and more.

I lead workshops that empower creative professionals to integrate AI into their workflows, enhancing both creativity and efficiency. My approach blends practical expertise with an enthusiasm for exploring AI's potential, helping participants push artistic boundaries and innovate in visual storytelling.
