In this episode of BASELINE, filmmaker Archie Brooksbank reflects on storytelling, music, and the human connections that shape how we feel, remember, and act. Drawing on his work across film, sport, and culture, including projects involving figures such as Lionel Messi, Jamie Redknapp, and Lewis Hamilton, as well as collaborations with teams and brands including Red Bull Racing, Aston Martin, and McLaren, Archie explores why interaction, trust, and presence matter more than perfection. As AI and automation accelerate across the creative industries, this conversation asks a deeper question: what happens if we replace human experience with efficiency? This is not a discussion about tools or technology trends. It is a reflection on why storytelling has always been a shared human act, and why some things cannot be automated.
