Creativity Squared Ep33. “OUR T2 REMAKE”: Discover How 50 A.I. Artists Collaborated on this A.I.-Created Feature Film to Reimagine Terminator 2 as a Parody with Nem Perez, Sway Molina, and Ben Nash
Just as the T-800 saves humanity in Terminator 2, this remake demonstrates A.I. unleashing creativity, not destruction!
For our last episode of 2023, we have a special holiday edition of Creativity Squared featuring the amazing minds behind “OUR T2 REMAKE,” which is one of the first full-length feature films created using only artificial intelligence. You’re in for a treat to hear the making of this innovative Terminator 2 parody that flips the script on A.I. Instead of destroying the world, “OUR T2 REMAKE” showcases how A.I. can empower artists, open a new genre of filmmaking, and reimagine what’s possible with human creativity powered by A.I. tools.
Join today’s conversation with the film’s executive producers Nem Perez and Sway Molina, and another A.I. artist, Ben Nash, who’s also a previous Creativity Squared guest.
Nem and Sway collaborated with 50 of the best A.I. video artists from around the world to bring this film to life. “OUR T2 REMAKE” reimagines the classic film through the creation of 50 unique, original works, each lasting 3 to 4 minutes. This experimental film, which has no affiliation with the Terminator franchise or its creators, celebrates the A.I. artist community by showcasing each artist’s own unique style for each of their scenes.
With backgrounds spanning film, technology, art, and music, Nem, Sway, and Ben are multi-talented creators leading innovation across creative industries and are breaking the conventions of what it means to be filmmakers. Nem, based in LA, is an award-winning filmmaker and founder of A.I. startup Storyblocker; Sway, of Latin American descent working in Miami, is an actor and filmmaker using Generative A.I. in his humor-driven narratives; and Ben is a Cincinnati-based full-stack creator who blends design, code, industrial arts, and music into cutting-edge digital products.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear how they are using artificial intelligence as a tool, a creative outlet, and a form of self-expression. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the “OUR T2 REMAKE,” including their innovative Discord workflows, and what message these artists have for Hollywood.
