Famous director on AI film: 'It's the artist who doesn't need the studio'
tristanbob · x · 2026-09-08
Jason shared that an extremely famous film director messaged him in support of his plan to start an AI movie studio, with a striking take:
- On AI filmmaking: "I'm not claiming that's art. I'm claiming, it's fun!"
- On industry anxiety: "Everyone's terrified, convinced the studios don't need artists anymore."
- His counterpoint: "It's the artist who doesn't need the studio."
The quote suggests AI is shifting creative power from major studios to individual artists, aligning with Jason's independent AI studio ambitions.
