Anyone can press
'Generate'.

Very few know when not to.

"Don't Press Generate" is not a course on tools. It is a workshop about what comes before the tool: vision, intention, direction.

Stéphane Benini and Bruno Detante co-direct AI productions for some of the most demanding brands in the world. This workshop is the synthesis of their working method — built in the field, project after project, for clients who do not accept mediocrity.

The workshop answers one simple question: how do you direct an AI-generated image the way you direct a film — with a visual grammar, a point of view, a narrative coherence?
