Episode Description

This episode discusses host Peter Csathy's upcoming article about the breaking news that Google's DeepMind just invested $75 million into powerhouse taste-making, auteur-driven, boutique studio A24.

Yes, A24 — the darling of film hipsters everywhere — just jumped the AI shark. The studio behind breakout hit Backrooms and Academy Award-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once just shook hands with the biggest of Big Tech bros, Google. The mandate? To develop custom AI tools for A24 filmmakers. 

A24's talking points about the deal focus on non-threatening storyboarding AI use cases. But make no mistake. Storyboarding is just the Trojan Horse for AI going mainstream into the full pre-production, production, and post-production workflow -- every step of the way.

Csathy's virtual co-hosts discuss it all here -- including what this deal means to the overall Hollywood creative community. Csathy listened to - and approves - the episode's contents and vouches for the insights.
