Special Digital Hollywood Episode, guest are director Rob Minkoff (The Lion King), filmmaker and AI specialist Ellenor Argyropoulos, and writer-director John MacInnes
On this special Digital Hollywood episode of The AI/XR Podcast, hosts Charlie Fink, Rony Abovitz, and Ted Schilowitz are joined by director Rob Minkoff (The Lion King), filmmaker and AI specialist Ellenor Argyropoulos, and writer-director John MacInnes for a candid discussion on the upheaval AI is bringing to Hollywood. The panelists agree that while generative tools are accelerating creativity and lowering the barrier to entry, they also threaten traditional production roles and economic structures. Minkoff stresses the enduring importance of storytelling and direction, while MacInnes predicts a future with fewer below-the-line jobs and a boom in creator-driven content. Argyropoulos shares how AI has actually made her work more profitable. The conversation also touches on IP theft, synthetic actors, and the risk of massive tech consolidation. As Minkoff puts it, “AI is a tool—but the vision is still human.”
