BC AI Film Club Feb 2026 Community Announcements: AI Film, Storytelling & Vancouver Creators

Four community projects at the intersection of AI, film, and storytelling:

– Belcim shares how being bedridden led her to create an AI avatar as a lifeline for her acting and storytelling, and her vision for immersive, escape‑room‑style narrative worlds that cultivate empathy and remind us we need each other.
– Brian, a social and environmental justice documentary filmmaker and outdoor explorer, screens his 90‑second “deep time” nature short—an experiment in using AI tools to express our connection to land, memory, and stewardship while wrestling with the ethics of new technology.
– Michel LeBlond showcases a niche workflow that turns a friend’s backlog of short written stories into AI‑generated animated videos on YouTube, using prompt engineering and quick stitching to prototype visual universes at near‑zero cost.
– Michael Tippett premieres a new trailer from his ongoing “Mr. Canada” AI series, a satirical, patriotic cinematic universe that doubles as a time‑capsule of how AI video tools have evolved over the last 18 months.

You’ll also hear shout‑outs to Gearbase Camera Rentals for supporting local indie filmmakers with prizes and gear, plus invitations to collaborate, experiment, and “plant your flag” in the BC + AI community.

If you care about AI film, creative storytelling, and building an ethical, human‑centered AI future from Vancouver, this is the way.
