I think it will be interesting to see where it (generative AI) all goes. I’m not someone who is against using new and available tools as part of the process, or as part of a system of production. Where I have concerns is how the tools are implemented.
I’m a believer that great art in this kind of media cannot be created in a vacuum. Collaboration is such a key element to the successes (and failures) in this art form, and generative AI makes it very tempting to create such vacuums, and unless the storytellers continue to embrace community and genuine collaboration, I don’t see great art becoming a possibility with a solo effort using nothing but generative prompts. I’m not saying there can’t be commercial successes (and I do say that a bit grudgingly if I’m honest), but great art? I’m less convinced.
So what drew me here is the aspect of community as you stated. Creatives working in collaboration to tell great stories, and using these new tools responsibly. By responsibly, I mean not allowing filmmaking to become a vacuum, protecting the rights of artists, actors, writers, performers, composers…making sure that just because we CAN do something doesn’t necessarily mean we SHOULD do that thing without heavy scrutiny over what the impacts are.

My 2 cents…
Cheers.
