Inside Gossip Goblin's AI Filmmaking Process

Who is Gossip Goblin? Meet Zack London, the AI filmmaker behind Gods Don't Give Gifts, and explore the strange worlds behind his Hollywood ambitions. In this 5ives retrospective, we trace his path from anthropology and design to the Cycles of Humanity, Niiro Cradle and longer films including WOODNUTS, The Patchwright and Pomegranate. We look at how the images get made, the writers, actors and sound artists behind them, and the arguments over AI, authorship and cinema. Can a world built with AI make the leap from your feed to the big screen?
