The question is no longer whether AI will play a role in your creative career. The question is \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e — and more importantly, how you can use it strategically, intentionally, and in a way that actually makes your work better. Getting that clarity is a genuine competitive advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor most creatives, the AI landscape can feel a little overwhelming at first — and that's completely understandable. ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Google Gemini, Runway, Google Veo, and Sora are often grouped together under the general label of \"AI,\" but they each do something different. Some are stronger for writing, brainstorming, rewriting, research, and development. Others shine when it comes to generating images, creating visual references, or exploring video concepts. Once you understand which tool does what, the whole landscape starts to make a lot more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe good news? You don't need to be a tech expert to use these tools well. You just need to know where to start — and that's exactly what this Stage 32 webinar is designed to give you. Whether you're a writer looking for a creative collaborator, a producer building smarter pitch materials, a director exploring visual tone, or an actor preparing for a role, there's something here that can genuinely support your process.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why we're so excited to have \u003cstrong\u003eJoshua Young\u003c\/strong\u003e leading this conversation. Joshua brings a rare combination of deep creative experience and real-world AI know-how. As a screenwriter and director with 32 award wins in some of Hollywood's most prestigious competitions — and a career spanning acting, filmmaking for Netflix, PBS, OWN, and TLC, and six years producing content on cruise ships around the world — he understands the creative process from the inside out. He actively uses tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Google Gemini, Sora, and others in his own work and with the clients he advises, and has even built his own custom GPT models.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, you'll get a clear, practical breakdown of what each major AI tool is actually built to do — and how to choose the right one for the right task.
