In today's fast-paced digital age, technology has permeated every aspect of our lives, including the world of storytelling.

After sharing my thoughts on someone's LinkedIn post, I began to reflect on my own stance. I firmly believe that technology should not be seen as an enemy but as a powerful tool to help us embrace and enhance our stories. However, the advent of AI has brought about a new trend among Gen Z creators—churning out what I can only describe as no-brain "content."

While it's true that more and more Gen Z individuals are using AI to generate meaningless content, I still hold onto the belief that there are genuine filmmakers among them. These creators, much like those of us who still appreciate the timeless charm of vinyl records, are dedicated to the craft of filmmaking. Together, we understand that AI cannot replace the humanity that lies at the heart of storytelling, a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with, as echoed by my friend Lucinda Bruce.

Despite this shift towards AI-generated content, the market remains a crucial player in our industry. It pays the bills, after all. But it's essential to draw a line between compromising our artistic integrity and following market trends. Personally, I refuse to work on projects when the pay isn't worth my time or my passion, and you definitely won't find those trendy clips in my reel... Ahahahaha!
The essence of storytelling lies in its ability to connect with people on a human level. As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, it's vital to remember that while tools and trends may change, the core of a good story remains constant. Technology is here to assist, not overshadow, our creative endeavors. Let's embrace it wisely and continue to tell stories that resonate with the heart and soul of humanity.
