There is a lot of talk about AI. Vol 006 sorts the part that is actually changing from the part that does not move.
AI did not arrive quietly. It fractured how films get made and, in the same motion, cracked access open for filmmakers who never had a crew or a budget. Part I, What’s Changing, sits with that opening honestly. Part II, What Holds, draws the line. AI is the crew. The filmmaker is still the director, carrying the idea, the execution, and the feeling a machine cannot reach. The way MS Office did not replace the writer but freed the writer, the new tools move the labor without moving the authorship. The volume takes no triumphant position and no doom position. It looks at the ground and names what is solid.
Where films and filmmakers live on.
