The release and popularity of Adolescence gives me hope for a future where, although there will likely be AI films in the future, filmmakers will still choose to create art in innovative and challenging ways.

As a filmmaker and editor, I have embraced Large Language Models (LLMs) ever since they came into the forefront of media talking points. Content creators are constantly at odds with the demands of creating videos at a consistent and fast pace, while at the same time ensuring quality. We have to master all aspects of filmmaking: research, writing, cinematography, lighting, editing, effects, audio mixing… the list goes on! As these tools have become more available, they have enabled us to be so much more productive and create more content than we have ever had before.
