Quotes
Dan Wolman
Internationally acclaimed Israeli filmmaker
“He said that, instead of going to Romania with his crew and shooting, he decided to do it with AI. It said this is a fantastic commercial that I shot. I thought that he hadn’t gone to Romania, so his experience of the place was not there. He didn’t use any actors. I think the next time he’s not going to be called. AI is going to direct.”

“I’m competing now with the screenplay. I’m sending a screenplay to a competition. Somebody used AI and he said I wanted to write a Bergman screenplay and he’s submitting his screenplay and I’m submitting mine and maybe he will win prize or get money to make his film.”
