Is Ai The Future Of Movie Producing?

Filmmaking Stuff
About this episode

On the latest episode of the Filmmaking Stuff podcast, Jason Brubaker dives into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its effect on the film industry with Scott Kirkpatrick, Executive VP of Co-productions and Distribution at Nicely Entertainment.

Scott unpacks how AI can simplify film and TV production, yet he underscores the vital role of human creativity. AI isn't replacing us. It's helping us.

The chat covers exciting territory, from AI-script generation to the tech's potential in content editing and virtual product placement.

Notably, Scott flags the need to understand audience tastes. While AI can offer efficiencies, filmmakers must ensure they're at the heart of their stories.

Scott wraps up by reminding us that storytelling is central to our humanity, and tech should amplify, not replace, that.

Check out Scott's book "Mastering the Pitch" for brilliant tips on pitching creative work.
