About Tom
Tom Kinnersly is an Emmy Award-winning editor with 20 years' experience across drama, documentary, news and advertising, working with the BBC, HBO, CNN, Disney+, Sky and Working Title.
He has worked with generative AI video tools since 2024, and is excited to see AI filmmaking evolve this year into the production-ready system it deserves to be. He sees professional editing as the vital component in AI filmmaking teams that it has always been in traditional live-action filmmaking.
So it's fair for everyone
- 10 half-hour reviews in the first round, in the order people book.
- One review per person or team to begin with.
- If there's room later in the week, Tom may offer some people a second round.
