Academy Award®-nominated director (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) — and Dolby Institute Fellowship winner — Carlos López Estrada brings together another panel of working filmmakers and creatives, this time to discuss the hot button issue of AI in Filmmaking.

Joining the discussion are:

- Jorge R. Gutierrez (Filmmaker - “The Book of Life,” “Maya and the Three”)

- Isa Mazzei (Filmmaker - “Cam,” “How to Blow Up a Pipeline”)

- Paul Trillo (Filmmaker, Visual Artist - “The Hardest Part” music video for Washed Out)

- Dave A. Liu (Producer/Financier - “Dìdi (弟弟),” “Sasquatch Sunset”)

- Dave Clark (Filmmaker, Futurist, Educator)

- Joe Penna (Filmmaker - “Stowaway”)

“I see all of it as inevitable. And lot of things that are being put out there are frankly, I find, just not that provocative or interesting. And I think AI is being used in a very lazy way, which is totally fine. But, if you have the discipline and if you have the experience, you can take that experience use this tool as a way… to discover these ideas that you probably wouldn’t have made otherwise.”
