4:00pm – 5:15pm – WORKSHOP: The Human Author in the Age of AI
- Your Craft, AI Collaboration, and the Rights You Can Document
- Presented by Kevyn Bashore
- Your story, your craft, and your creative judgment remain the foundation of meaningful work in the age of AI. In this practical workshop, filmmaker, songwriter, and educator Kevyn Bashore explores how storytellers can develop original writing, music, images, and film with AI while preserving creative intent and documenting human authorship. A central case study follows an original song through AI-assisted reorchestration and subsequent human revisions, examining accurate credits, AI labels, and platform flags. Through official forms and practical examples, participants learn to distinguish copyright registration from the separate processes for screenplay registries, music royalties, and release identifiers. Participants receive a repeatable creative workflow, a template for documenting their contributions, and registration and release guides, all grounded in a calling to forge light through story and use every tool for the Kingdom of God with discernment, integrity, and artistic excellence.
- Kevyn Bashore is an educator, award-winning filmmaker, photographer, cinematographer, writer, and songwriter-composer whose mission is to “forge light through story.”

Kevin Christenson hosts a panel with Jared Geesey from Angel Studios, Dave Mechem from Pinnacle Peak/EKKL, Jen Katzfey from Hawk Hill, and Casting Director Beverly Holloway, to highlight how a great story is only one piece of the journey as storytellers need to consider packaging, financing, and distribution. Each pierce of that puzzle will be discussed!
5:00pm – 5:45pm – SEMINAR: How to Sound as Good as You Look —Without Going Over Budget
