## Resource

The entry of artificial intelligence into moviemaking has been fittingly dramatic. Early concerns about intellectual property theft and actors and crew members alike being replaced have filled the discourse. But a new picture is beginning to emerge. As costs rise and filmmakers look to do more with less, new AI-powered tools could help empower indies and studios alike. Still, when and how to apply AI remains a valuable puzzle to solve. This episode was filmed parallel to the 25th annual Tribeca Film Festival, which this year has admitted their first AI film, Dreams of Violets. The same day as our recording, it was announced Martin Scorsese has joined as an advisor to Black Forest Labs, an AI visuals company. In the midst of it, Dan is joined by Bryn Mooser, co-founder and CEO of Asteria Film. As an Emmy and Peabody-winning filmmaker, Bryn brings deep knowledge to his new project: developing new filmmaking tools powered by AI. Bryn has a clear perspective on the difference between when Silicon Valley tries making movie tools, and how a team of filmmakers can empower themselves.
