Libby Wright Not so much yet, the big break of AI tech in film (features) is still to come. Though a couple of months ago I ran into the shortfilm "Instinct" on Youtube which convinced me the technology is ready. Also the slow development of interactive (multiplayer gaming) in cinemas is a bit suprising, we've been following that trend since 2000.
Nice to meet you, Willem Elzenga 2 ! I love that you are invested in understanding AI and how it can be a tool for creatives. We actually have a really cool class coming up on using AI.: https://www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-5-part-a-i-lab-how-to-break-story-improve-characters-using-ai-prompts
