  • Meet the man behind the AI studio that produces films at a fraction of the usual cost

    The Post's Lydia Moynihan sits down with Brett Stuart, the head of AI filmmaking at Staircase Studio, to discuss the integration of artificial intelligence into the filmmaking process. While acknowledging the fears that AI might replace human actors and creatives, Stuart emphasizes that AI is a tool to complement and enhance traditional filmmaking, not replace it. His studio is focused on using AI to create visually stunning films, such as "The Woman with Red Hair," by combining AI-generated visuals with talented human actors, writers, and directors. He explains that AI can significantly reduce production costs, enabling smaller budgets for films that otherwise might not get made. Stuart is optimistic about AI's potential to empower artists and speed up workflows, but stresses that the best content will still come from skilled creators. He also addresses concerns around AI in Hollywood, suggesting that AI will be more of a tool for storytelling than a threat to jobs.
