The main objectives when planning the realisation of a project.
When I set up to realise a project there are a few objectives that for me come side by side and that I must have already clarified: The understanding of the story, tone, themes, and audience and that this story will convey in all its power, the message I had initially envisaged. For me it is paramount that this narrative is solid and reverberate across borders. Planning the team walks hand in hand with who is cast to voice the characters. It is important to summon the best team but equally important is to choose a team that truly falls in love with my project that same way I did. Every effort should be made to minimize risks. Ultimately, the objective is to create a film that resonates—artistically, culturally, and even commercially. Therefore every planning decision should support that end goal.
With Artificial Intelligence, Cinema is undergoing a phase of Transformation, even more radical that the one that occurred in the 1920’s with the transition from silent films to sound. What is your opinion on this?
I believe AI has the potential to do something far broader and it is there that the perils are! If done with ethic and responsibility, AI can be a filmmaker’s close friend and not their enemy as many are harshly fearing it to be. It gives us the opportunity to be in the future now and like everything we don’t know yet it is natural to fear. In 50 years times or even less we will see those who opted to have AI as an ally or a foe. That said, it is utterly important to use with care and consideration.
