Generative AI

The Invisible Grammar of AI in Auteur Filmmaking: Creating a Personal Language in the Generative Era

AI is not a ‘cinematic medium’ but an ally to the filmmaker that revolutionizes creative processes. I will explore how to build a personal language beyond the aesthetics of ‘10-second clips’ and prevailing biases. I will analyze the shift toward linearity in narrative construction, the new relationship with error and iteration, and how to avoid ‘prompt slavery.’ I will demonstrate how AI enables alternative professional paths while keeping the human element at the center: historical research, emotional construction, and the ability to discern true innovation from false.
