Mr. Pixel Wizard’s

Workshops & Training

Hi. I'm Kevin Friel. I help creative teams bridge Hollywood excellence with artificial intelligence to transform how stories are told.

I have contributed to Oscar-winning visual effects on Dune: Part One, pioneered virtual production workflows, and now develop next-generation AI filmmaking tools alongside legendary industry innovators. Through speaking engagements, workshops, and consulting, I help creative professionals understand not just what's possible with AI, but how to implement it while maintaining the highest standards of cinematic storytelling.

My talks and workshops are customized to every audience and event, whether you're a traditional film team exploring AI integration, a startup building the future of content creation, or an enterprise looking to transform your video production capabilities. My expertise spans from practical AI tool implementation to strategic business transformation, always grounded in real-world production experience from Vancouver's thriving creative tech ecosystem.
