AI Mediamakers Report #001

🚀 Welcome to AI Mediamakers Report #001! 🚀

Hey there, fellow AI enthusiasts! It's Maxie here, and I'm super excited to kick off our first edition of the AI Mediamakers Report. We're on a mission to bring you the latest and greatest in the world of AI, from education to publishing, merchandising, and beyond. Buckle up, 'cause we're in for an exciting ride!

🎬 A Trip Down Memory Lane 🎬

Before we dive in, let's take a moment to appreciate our roots. My digital publishing journey began in 1998 with the [DV Filmmakers Community and Newsletter](https://web.archive.org/web/20000619161028/http://www.dvfilmmaker.com/), a hub for digital video enthusiasts. We even published the [Digital Video Filmmakers Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/IFILM-Digital-Video-Filmmakers-Handbook/dp/1580650317), a bestselling book that became the must-have resource for any budding filmmaker.

All these years later, these resources serve as a model for building a community thru valuable information and resources.

🌟 The Next Chapter: AI Mediamakers 🌟

Fast forward to today, we're all about AI! Welcome to the [AI Mediamakers Community & Training Center](https://aimediamakers.com) and our FREE email newsletter [AI Mediamakers Report](https://report.aimediamakers.com). We're also excited about our [AI Toolbox Bootcamp](https://aitoolbox.co), a training program designed to equip you with the AI tools you need to succeed.

📅 What's Coming Up? 📅

We've got a packed schedule ahead! Each month, we'll focus on a different theme:

- July: AI in Education

- October: AI in Advertising & Marketing

Each week during that month, we will focus on training and activities on new lessons and projects to help you grasp new concepts and learn new skills.
