Variety reports that Grimes (Claire Boucher) will cameo in the theater-bound AI film 'Gods Don't Give Gifts' by director Zack London (aka Gossip Goblin). The connection started when Grimes followed and engaged with the director's X account, replied to his film clips in March, and a DM expressing appreciation led to chats and the cameo. The piece notes that sliding into a favorite artist's DMs remains the best way to reach them, even in the AI era.
