✨ ICONS at TIFF was a success! ✨ Our journey at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has been nothing short of spectacular! 🎬✨ The ICONS panel, focused on AI and its transformative impact on the filmmaking industry, was truly our best yet. We facilitated thought-provoking discussions around:  AI's Role in Filmmaking and addressing data privacy, copyright laws, and the responsibilities filmmakers must consider when integrating AI into their work. At Women in Cloud, we're committed to educating and empowering the next generation of filmmakers. 🎓 Through scholarships and initiatives, we're investing in the future of AI in film. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who connected with us, from investors to industry leaders. Our presence at TIFF wasn't just about showcasing our film; it was about building relationships that will shape the future of cinema. The stories we tell matter, but the connections we make? Those are the real game-changers. 🌟 #WomenInCloud #TIFF #ICONSFilm #AIInFilm #EthicalFilmmaking #NextGenFilmmakers #CommunityAndConnection Chaitra Vedullapalli Olivia Bechthold Monika Mital Gupta Michelle Pruitt Nancy Watt Rashaana Shah Anu B.
