The AI/VR Motion Picture Guild (AIVRMPG) is a Nonprofit Professional Association based in San Francisco, California, US, focused on emerging media technologies.
The organisation, according to AMP, led by Amb Queen Blessing Ebigieson, has announced a global AI storytelling and prompt engineering workshop developed in educational partnership with AMP Nigeria and EPIC ACG FEST.
The initiative connects filmmakers, producers, artists, technologists, and educators across America, Africa and the global creative ecosystem to explore the evolving role of artificial intelligence, generative media, virtual production, and prompt-driven storytelling in contemporary film production.
The program will focus on AI filmmaking workflows, generative storytelling frameworks, prompt engineering for cinematic production, and immersive media development, creating a platform for professional knowledge exchange and cross-continental collaboration within the global film industry.
In a statement released by the organisation and the Nigerian producers guild, “The workshop is designed for filmmakers, digital artists, creative technologists, designers, producers, and storytellers interested in integrating AI tools and generative technologies into narrative filmmaking and visual storytelling pipelines, the workshop to hold virtually in April.
”The educational partnership supports the development of AI cinema, generative film production, immersive storytelling, and digital media innovation, while strengthening international partnerships between creative industries in the United States, Africa, and Asia.”

technologies are among the panelists.
His recent AI short film was selected for the Official Selection of the Busan AI International Film Festival (2025) in South Korea, a major international event focused on AI cinema and emerging media innovation.
