Seattle AI Film Festival
Film
Booth lead: John Gauntt
About the Artist
The Seattle AI Film Festival (SAIFF) connects filmmakers, toolmakers, infrastructure providers, content creators, and distribution channels across the AI and filmmaking worlds, sparking collaboration, deeper industry relationships, and better storytelling.
At the Summit
Help build a movie trailer about Seattle, one contribution at a time. Pick a genre (cyber thriller, horror, or comedy), then add a single ingredient: a character, a threat, a location, a twist, or even a quick doodle. Generative AI weaves every attendee’s idea into one shared trailer, so instead of watching a demo, you’re co-writing a Seattle story in real time.

Justin Orvold
Interdisciplinary Creative Technologist + Artist
Painter, spatial storyteller + technologist
About the Artist
Justin Orvold is a painter, spatial storyteller, and technologist whose work moves between canvas, public space, and augmented reality. Blending traditional craft with digital experimentation, he turns physical environments into immersive narratives shaped by bold color, intuitive gesture, architectural rhythm, and human imagination.
At the Summit
Watch an original painting move through a live creative loop with AI in the studio, without giving up authorship. Marks on the canvas are captured and interpreted by AI, then accepted, rejected, or redirected by the artist, expanded through digital and augmented-reality media, and returned to the canvas. Explore the artwork’s spatial layer and talk with Justin about intuition, memory, taste, judgment, and human authorship.
