Edward Saatchi (Saatchi & Saatchi family, former Head of Oculus Story Studio, Founder of Fable Studios) joins us to make the case that Hollywood is sleepwalking into the most radical disruption in the history of storytelling."Creativity is at a deep blue and Kasparov moment"

"AI isn't just a tool in the toolbox for filmmakers. It's a competitor"

We talk about:

★ Whether AI can be truly creative - Edward says yes

★ Silicon Valley's quiet takeover of Hollywood

★ Tech companies becoming media companies

★ The rise of the one-person film

★ Why AI will bring an aesthetic shift to cinema

Then we go deeper into what this actually means for authorship, storytelling, and who gets to have a creative voice, when the cost of making a film collapses to near zero.
