I am super excited to announce that Act One of The Wizard and The Scholar is now complete! Eleven of the 50 pages of the script is finished (I may tweak a bit later, but a good cut is there), running about 12.5 minutes. At this rate, the final film should come in at around an hour long. I'm really looking forward to starting production on Act Two of our AI-powered feature film. Let's make science (even more) fun! Thanks for all your support!#thewizardandthescholar #film #history #science #edutainment #AI #AIfilmmaking #artificialintelligence #AIart #genAI

I recently talked with Marco Ciappelli from ITSP Magazine Podcast about the future of generative artificial intelligence, how it will remake filmmaking, education, and storytelling, and how this will forever alter human society. It was a great pleasure doing this show, and I hope you enjoy watching it!
