Forgotten Island directors on AI and human memory
por Anjali Filmi: Januel Mercado
Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado aren't worried about AI touching FORGOTTEN ISLAND. Their reasoning: memories are what make a person who they are, and they build the lens artists look through. That lens, they say, isn't something AI can take over. The credits even carry a visual statement naming the humans behind the film, a nod to the idea that these stories run on human experience. Universal DreamWorks, for its part, has stayed committed to theatrical even through something like the pandemic, backing the artists on the project. The directors hope the human touch sends audiences looking for more work made by people.

You know, these times that we're living with AI and all this stuff, how does it feel knowing that your film is protected from that kind of stuff? That statement is great. And speaking of statements, like, without ruining the movie, at the end of it, like in the credits, is kind of a visual statement. You see that kind of showing, like, who created this film, like the humans, the artists behind the incredible film and artistry you've just witnessed. to remind people like again these these human experiences it's human experiences and these stories are are fueled by you know by humans right yeah and and it's just like a beautiful thing that um it's so great being part of universal the dreamworks universal has always been big theatrical you know even through the the downs yeah pandemic like this theatrical universal is the big one going like we're putting this on here because we stand behind the artist and that means so much to especially I think in this movie about memories yeah so wonderful thing we're fallible we don't remember everything the things we do remember make us who we are and they create the lens that especially as artists we see the world through and that's something that AI can never replace is what's important to you who's important to you and that coming out in your artwork And I hope just that the human touch you feel in this movie just makes you excited as an audience to see more stuff by beautiful humans.
