Back to EpisodesBefore the Greenlight: Can AI Predict the Next Blockbuster with Ivan Zhurko
Description
If you’ve been hanging out with me since 2017, you know I’ve been tracking the collision of AI and the arts back when 'AI video' looked like a surrealist fever dream and 'AI voice' sounded like a polite but highly medicated robot. We watched static digital art evolve into generative universes, but today, we are talking about the real engine room of creativity: the business of making movies.
The glamour of cinema is built on a mountain of logistics. Behind every beautiful cinematic shot is a spreadsheet, a schedule, and a producer pulling their hair out over scheduling conflicts, VFX budgets, and union rates. Today we discuss how platforms use AI to turn weeks of manual script-shredding, color-coded highlighting, and scheduling Tetris into a streamlined, minutes-long process.
