Listen Later

In this episode, filmmaker and writer Andrés Aloi returns to discuss the evolving intersection of AI and storytelling. Recorded after the Amsterdam AI Film Fest, the conversation dives deep into how emerging technology is reshaping the creative process, the emotional limits of synthetic voices, and why human storytelling remains irreplaceable. Andrés shares his shift back to scriptwriting and the surprising ways AI tools have liberated his creative vision—especially for visually ambitious, previously unachievable scripts.

From discussing AI-generated influencers to the truth-seeking nature of storytelling, Andrés reflects on the core challenges in filmmaking: funding, distribution, and resonance. He draws parallels between historical shifts in cinema (e.g. silent film to sound) and today's tech wave, ultimately emphasizing that craft, authenticity, and collaboration are still the foundation of compelling work. Whether you're an aspiring writer, AI filmmaker, or just passionate about modern cinema, this episode is filled with insights, laughs, and timeless truths.
