In this episode of the AI Readiness Project, hosts Kyle Shaman and Anne Murphy are joined by filmmaker, real estate agent, and creative force Kimberly Offord. What started as curiosity with image tools led Kimberly to a remarkable commission: a music video collaboration with Grammy-winner Lalah Hathaway and Willow Smith.
Kimberly talks about:
- The need for more honest and diverse representation in visual media
- How she's navigating new tools without getting buried in them
- Her new project, the Playground Pastime Film Contest, designed to spotlight overlooked stories and voices
- The messy, often nonlinear process of experimenting with emerging tech
The conversation is rich with candid insight into how people are actually adapting—not just keeping up—with AI. It’s a glimpse into what happens when creative people stay curious and committed to making space for others.
🎥 Bonus: Watch Kimberly’s dreamy music video for “Tunnels” from Hathaway’s Vantablack album, and learn how a social media post opened unexpected doors.
