No cast or crew. Just AI — and a determined Iranian exile. Ask Koosha told me he made the movie, "Dreams of Violets,” almost entirely with tools like Anthropic’s Claude and that it cost him only about $2,000. The full-length feature, he said, is a memorial to the victims of the Iranian government’s January crackdown on protesters. As the first fully AI-generated film to screen at Tribeca, one of the most competitive stages in independent cinema, it raises a thorny question: If one person can make a festival-caliber film with AI, what happens to everyone else who makes movies? Find out how he did it and how Koosha expects AI to change — not kill — jobs in Hollywood. https://lnkd.in/ePzn9KZS
