The future of Hollywood isn’t feeding prompts into vanilla gen AI models
The Tribeca Film Festival showcased experimental projects demonstrating how human artists can creatively leverage generative AI in filmmaking, moving beyond the "short-form video slop" often produced by major AI firms. Projects like Google DeepMind's "Dear Upstairs Neighbors" and OpenAI's "Mauvais Soleil" highlighted innovative uses of AI, with "Dear Upstairs Neighbors" utilizing custom versions of Veo and Imagen trained on specific concept art to maintain visual consistency. These examples suggest that while AI may not create entire compelling movies independently, it can be a powerful tool when integrated thoughtfully with traditional artistic workflows. AI
