"I think all great work comes from the need to say something. And so this is the challenge for young artists and also maybe one of the essential elements that can never be completely taken over by AI because there has to be something you feel has not been said, and you feel an urgent need to say it. In fact, you can't not say it. That need to express is what gives birth to unique expression, which is where all of our visual, performance, and creative arts come from."
Alan Poul is an Emmy, Golden Globe, DGA, and Peabody Award-winning producer and director of film and television.

Rogers and starring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe, as an American journalist in Japan and his police detective mentor.
