OpenAI held a screening event on Wednesday, where several filmmakers touted work they made with the startup’s text-to-video tool Sora.

Just months after OpenAI launched its controversial text-to-video artificial intelligence tool Sora for the general paying public, the company is making its sales pitch directly to L.A.’s filmmakers and digital creators.

This week, the ChatGPT maker screened 11 short films made with Sora on the big screen at Brain Dead Studios, a movie theater on Fairfax Avenue.
