Join us for a special night at the Moda Center that pairs an honest conversation about AI with a Portland Trail Blazers game - and a post-game experience on the court!

The evening will start with a pre-game AI Portland gathering, featuring appetizers and a facilitated discussion about the realities of innovation and what it actually takes to operationalize AI inside an existing organization. This will be a grounded conversation about constraints, tradeoffs, and what happens in real organizations.

After the discussion, we'll all head to our seats to cheer on the Portland Trail Blazers as they take on the Phoenix Suns.

Once the game wraps, the night continues with a special post-game free throw experience.

INTRODUCING MIXED*
​A first-of-its-kind film showcase celebrating human storytelling in all its evolving forms—traditional cinema, generative AI, and the messy, magical middle in between.

​As the creative landscape shifts before our eyes, MIXED* invites filmmakers, artists, and technologists to pause, reflect, and experiment—to explore the future of storytelling together.

​This isn’t about replacing tradition or craft; it’s about expanding what’s possible. The tools are changing, the pace is accelerating, but the heart of story remains the same.

​MIXED* is both a showcase and a call to action: a space for curious creators navigating how stories are imagined, produced, and shared in the age of intelligence.

​To submit a film please visit Film Freeway.

ABOUT THE EVENT
​Part film showcase, part creative lab, part platform for conversation—MIXED* is a collaborative experiment at the edge of storytelling.
​
This special one-night event will feature a curated program of short films that blend traditional filmmaking techniques with AI-driven production methods.

​Screenings will be followed by live discussions, audience Q&A, and a post-show mixer connecting Portland’s creative and tech communities.
​The evening celebrates the craft of cinema while exploring the new tools reshaping how stories come to life—anchored in the belief that technology should serve creativity, not the other way around.

WHO'S IT FOR
MIXED* is for filmmakers, artists, and the creatively curious—anyone exploring the evolving relationship between human imagination and intelligent tools. No hype. No fear. Only experimentation, conversation, and community.

​Whether you’re a seasoned director, a motion designer testing generative models, or simply curious about the future of creative work, this is a space to connect, learn, and be inspired.
