Hollywood Doomed? Surviving the AI Video Revolution with Nathan Hallford
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just writing scripts — it’s now creating entire movies. In this powerful Mindblowers Podcast episode, Daniel Käfer interviews Nathan Hallford, the creator of Cinematic Moment, a groundbreaking platform that allows you to go from story to full film with just one click.
We explore how tools like SORA, VEO3, and MidJourney are transforming filmmaking, whether Hollywood can survive the AI revolution, and what it means for actors, directors, and the economics of the movie industry. Will AI replace human actors? Can production speed 10x? Will everyone become their own filmmaker?
