Le
Bonza

There's a lot of AI-made content out there. Very little of it is being watched carefully or talked about honestly. That's what Le Bonza is for.

What is this

AI is changing entertainment. Nobody's figured out how yet.

The tools showed up fast and people started making things — some of it genuinely new, some of it strange, a lot of it going viral for reasons nobody can fully explain.

The interesting question isn't whether it's good. That's the wrong frame. A fully AI-generated video with no exceptional story and no awards-caliber craft can become one of the fastest-growing accounts on any major platform. Why? And what does that mean for everyone who makes, funds, or distributes entertainment?

Le Bonza is one day to sit with that question together.

We screen the work first. Then we get the people who made it, the people who built the tools they used, and the executives in legacy entertainment whose industries are directly in the path of all this — in the same room to talk about what it means.

No curatorial agenda. The full range on display — from the things that took months of obsessive craft to the things that went viral because someone nailed a prompt.

One day of intentional engagement with what's being created, and honest conversations about what's to come.
