Hi, Stage 32ers!

While you may have missed out on getting to attend the Cannes Film Festival in person, you certainly won’t miss out on the incredible insights that were shared there! Stage 32 was proud to present 6 panels at the Cannes Marche du Film, which we will be sharing with you on the Stage 32 blog in the coming weeks.

At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, I had the distinct honor of joining Sami Apra, CEO of Largo Film (Switzerland) and Christopher Morrison, Founder of Reality + for an in-depth panel discussion on The Evolution of Storytelling: AI, Virtual Reality, the Metaverse & ChatGPT, moderated by Kayvan Mashayekh, Producers Without Borders.

During this great conversation, Chris, Sami, and myself answered audience questions about AI’s impact on the industry, how it can be used as a creative and technical tool, what misinformation you should watch out for, and much more. Keep in mind, this panel took place before the DGA negotiations and ongoing SAG conversations, so keep that in mind when you hear some of this information. We encourage you to read the trades like Deadline, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The Wrap or SCREEN to get the most up to date reporting on the strike negotiations.
