We hosted an epic one-day festival to human expression in New York City a few weeks ago called the Lux AI Summit, bringing together hundreds of founders, artists, engineers and visionaries who are redefining the future of media. Two of our speakers, Kirby Ferguson and Ale Matamala Ortiz joined us on the Riskgaming podcast to talk about the future of filmmaking in a generative AI world.Kirby is a filmmaker, and he’s most well-known for his work around remix culture in a documentary series titled “Everything is a Remix.” Ale is the co-founder and Chief Design Officer of Runway, a Lux portfolio company that builds a generative AI studio for anyone producing films.Together with hosts Danny Crichton and Laurence Pevsner, our quad talks about the current economics of the film industry and the recession underway in Los Angeles, why filmmaking would have changed even without the rise of AI, how to think about remixing through software versus remixing through culture, the coming convergence of narrative forms like films and video games, and what the future of artists will look like with co-intelligences.
