@TheFilmScorer This was why I was shocked that so many people gave "Late Night with the Devil" such a pass. Yes it was only a few GenAI images, but it was very clear that if it did ok at the Box Office then the studios would see the green light and that this would be the next step.

Love to see a studio teaming up with a generative AI company 🤮

@TheFilmScorer Yes. I think it's also going to impact actors trying to promote themselves. For instance if a filmmaker doesn't want their work training GenAI then the actor won't be able to post clips individually or as part of a showreel.

@Lightweaver_ Yep, a random user can’t post someone else’s photo or video and grant a license as a result. Just a nonsensical change to the T&Cs

Pretty sure it's only the copyright owners of a work who can grant the kind of permission/licence of usage required by these T&C's.

@oakes_caroline It really was a great shoot, so much laughing. :-)

Worried I’ll be overwhelmed here, but if you identify as female and are actively trying to pursue a career in comedy as a producer or director, and want to join a small group of women I mentor, pls wave.

@VivienKeene_act Looks brilliant Vivien, can't wait to hear more about it.

Here is a fun fact that might inspire any filmmakers out there bummed your film isn't getting into the festivals you had hoped for. In the last two weeks I've gotten three different messages from programmers or directors of festivals I love either offering a way for us to showcase outside the fest or asking if we'd want to submit for free this year even though the short is already online. I told them we actually got rejected last year. They had no idea we even submitted. I say this to remind you that thousands of films are submitted for a few slots and there is a solid chance your film never even made it to the main programmers. And even if it did, there are so many factors you can't control. It's not usually that your film wasn't good enough. It has to fit SO many things to make sense for that year's program, on top of the sheer amount of incredible films there literally aren't enough slots for. The Crossing Over Express was rejected by Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, Cannes, Fantastic Fest, Beyond Fest, and more. It's since gotten almost 2M views and resulted in a profile in Variety and reach outs from some of my all time favorite filmmakers. Don't get me wrong, I hope our next one plays those fests as it's the dream, but don't let festival rejection effect your self worth as an artist. 99% of it is out of your control. Now, go make your thing.

@JustineBateman "content" that one word has done so much to devalue the power and importance of art.

Sounds so devoid of life. And love.

@KGActress To be fair this should've been the norm a long time ago. It would be great to see all the other studios (especially those in regions such as the North and Midlands) do the same.

@Lightweaver_ I thought that!

This is brilliant news. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
