In this episode of RealmIQ: Sessions, Host Curt Doty talks with Lisa Trublet de Nermont, a film tech entrepreneur and former Vimeo exec, shares the origin and mission of her new AI platform: Sinima, the first AI operating system (OS) for filmmakers. Designed to protect and empower creators, Sinima aims to bring ethical IP management, ownership, and monetization into the evolving AI filmmaking landscape.
