The Truth About Releasing Short Films Online with Jim Cummings

Is AI going to bury us editors (and humanity) ?

We decided to take generative AI's pulse once again, as it (almost) becomes sentient ! Each of us also share one clip created with AI and discuss it, ultimately learning that our dear Piotr is a traitor to the show, since he distributed his own AI generated clips to advertise his (excellent) short film "Yellow Ticket" and probably made money off our sweaty backs (Piotr denies making any cent, but who can you trust nowadays ?). So, AI or not AI ? The links to the videos discussed: https://youtu.be/OVA09Osw7mQ https://youtube.com/shorts/PaXYURkrNs4 https://youtu.be/gWlfmUrazFw -- We'd love to hear from you!

Movie Rating Systems Are BROKEN (Or Are They?)

We invited Robert Frost, editor of Slow Horses, to talk about movie rating and film review sites. What are their pros and cons? Plus why wouldn't Erwann put a "heart" to his rating of Piotr's short film? All that and more in this episode. What do you think of movie rating systems and sites?
