This special BackTrack episode revisits our 2019 conversation with EMMY Award-winning director Cameo Wood. During that conversation, we discussed Cameo’s acclaimed sci-fi short film REAL ARTISTS, adapted from a short story by author Ken Liu. The short tackles A.I, in a way that is eerily prescient in light of the introduction of generative A.I. tools such as Chat GPT, Bard, and DALL-E.
