CreatorwoodHow I Brainstorm Hit Film Ideas with AIMichael, a former strategist at MrBeast and a sci-fi author, breaks down the art of ideation and market analysis for the new era of AI filmmaking.

The speaker argues that AI has democratized filmmaking by lowering costs, allowing creators to bypass Hollywood gatekeepers and focus entirely on what viewers want.
