    CLOWD MASTERS: INTERVIEW WITH ROGER DELMONT

    Send us Fan Mail    AI Is Possibility: Roger Delmont on Why Storytelling Still Comes First What if artificial intelligence didn't replace filmmaking—but finally gave filmmakers permission to tell the stories they could never afford to make? In this episode of CLOWD MASTERS, Curt Doty sits down with Spanish screenwriter, director, and AI filmmaker Roger Delmont, whose award-winning short film Shelter has become one of the breakout films on the international AI festival circuit. After two decades writing television dramas, Roger walked away from traditional production to embrace AI as a creative medium built on possibility rather than limitation. Together they explore why great storytelling still beats AI spectacle, why creators need the courage to say "no" to technology, and how AI is ushering in a new renaissance for independent filmmakers around the world. Episode Summary Curt Doty welcomes acclaimed Spanish filmmaker Roger Delmont for a thoughtful conversation about AI's growing role in storytelling and why experienced filmmakers are thriving with the technology. After spending more than twenty years writing for television and film, Delmont explains how AI allowed him to finally produce the scripts that had been sitting untouched in his drawer for years—stories that traditional financing would never have allowed him to make. Rather than viewing AI as an automated replacement for filmmaking, Delmont describes it as an extension of traditional directing. He compares prompting AI to working with actors on set—both require embracing the unexpected while remaining faithful to the story. The real creative skill, he argues, isn't generating images but curating them, having the discipline to reject beautiful shots that don't serve the narrative. Throughout the discussion, Doty and Delmont examine the industry's ongoing fear surrounding AI adoption. They argue that AI isn't eliminating creativity but expanding opportunity, enabling filmmakers to retain ownership of their ideas while opening new paths for independent production, monetization, and global distribution. They also discuss the importance of maintaining human authorship through writing, story structure, editing, performance, and ethical workflows to preserve creative ownership in an AI-assisted world. The conversation concludes with an optimistic vision for filmmaking's future: one where AI lowers production barriers, empowers storytellers outside Hollywood, and shifts creative power from gatekeepers back to artists. For Delmont, AI is not simply another technology—it is possibility itself. Pull Quotes "For me, AI is possibility." — Roger Delmont "I had years of stories sitting in a drawer. AI finally made them possible." — Roger Delmont "AI filmmaking feels remarkably similar to traditional filmmaking.

    CLOWD MASTERS: INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT GAUDETTE

    Send us Fan Mail When AI Meets Heart: Robert Gaudette on Why Emotional Storytelling Still Wins    What happens when one of the world's most celebrated AI filmmakers believes the technology matters less than the story? In this episode of CLOWD MASTERS, Curt Doty sits down with Robert Gaudette, the Canadian filmmaker whose AI-generated short A Face Only a Mother Could Love stunned audiences by winning the Grand Prix at the 2026 Runway AI Film Festival. Recently profiled by The Hollywood Reporter as "the next Charlie Kaufman," Gaudette discusses his unlikely journey from nonprofit worker to award-winning AI filmmaker, why emotionally authentic storytelling is finally replacing AI gimmicks, and how the emerging AI filmmaking community is redefining collaboration, creativity, and cinematic expression. Episode Summary Curt Doty welcomes acclaimed AI filmmaker Robert Gaudette for an in-depth conversation about the evolution of AI filmmaking and the growing importance of human-centered storytelling. Gaudette shares the creative process behind A Face Only a Mother Could Love, explaining how the film emerged as a deeply personal project that used AI as a creative tool rather than the creative force itself. The film's emotionally resonant narrative earned top honors at the 2026 Runway AI Film Festival and has become an example of how AI can amplify—not replace—human creativity. The discussion explores Gaudette's unexpected rise within the AI film community, his experience winning one of the industry's most prestigious AI filmmaking competitions, and the validation that came from seeing audiences respond emotionally to his work. Rather than focusing on visual spectacle or technological novelty, Gaudette argues that memorable films still depend on compelling characters, empathy, and authentic storytelling. Doty and Gaudette also examine the rapid maturation of AI filmmaking tools, the collaborative culture developing among AI creators, and why today's experimentation is evolving into genuine cinematic craft. They discuss how filmmakers openly share techniques, prompts, and workflows, creating a unique community that values collaboration over competition. The episode ultimately reinforces a central message echoed throughout the RealmIQ series: AI is becoming an increasingly powerful filmmaking instrument, but it remains human imagination, emotional intelligence, and storytelling that ultimately determine which films resonate with audiences. Pull Quotes "I created it as a personal project. It was one of the first AI short films where I finally felt the technology had matured enough to tell a deeply human story." — Robert Gaudette "I knew I wanted it to be a love story about someone who had lived a very difficult life." — Robert Gaudette "Marcel didn't start as a finished character. Through the iterative process, he found me." — Robert Gaudette "Getting accepted into the Runway Festival was validation. Winning it was something I never imagined." — Robert Gaudette "When my film played, the audience went completely silent. That's when I realized they weren't watching the technology—they were feeling the story." — Robert Gaudette "The AI filmmaking community doesn't feel overly competitive. It feels like everyone is rooting for each other." — Robert Gaudette "People are sharing prompts, workflows, and techniques in a way traditional filmmaking never really did." — Robert Gaudette "The tools have finally reached a point where we can stop showing experiments and start telling meaningful stories." — Robert Gaudette "We've gone through years of AI experimentation. Now we're entering the era where storytelling is becoming more important than the technology itself." — Curt Doty "We've had enough robots, cyberpunk, and AI spectacle. Audiences are ready for stories with heart again." — Curt Doty "Technology is no longer the headline. Storytelling is." — Curt Doty "The AI filmmaking community has become a virtual film school where creators openly share what they've learned." — Curt Doty "Creative-centered AI isn't about replacing filmmakers—it's about giving storytellers better tools." — Curt Doty Contact Robert https://robertgaudette.com www.linkedin.com/in/robert-gaudette-469b3221 Stop Posting.

    RealmIQ: SESSIONS with JOSHUA OTTEN

    Send us Fan Mail RealmIQ: Sessions – Episode Summary In this thought-provoking episode of RealmIQ: SESSIONS, Curt Doty interviews media entrepreneur Joshua Otten, a veteran in IP monetization and emerging technologies. The conversation dives deep into how generative AI is disrupting Hollywood’s traditional studio model — not by replacing creatives, but by empowering them to bypass the system entirely. Otten shares his vision of a new, creator-led production paradigm where AI tools enable filmmakers to produce high-quality, cost-effective content, own their IP, and control distribution. He argues that the real opportunity isn’t building another AI tool, but applying existing open-source solutions to rethink workflows, rights management, and storytelling. The duo critiques Big Tech’s race to commoditize AI and extract profits, emphasizing instead the importance of collaboration, hybrid workflows, and public benefit. They address the legal gray areas around copyright in AI-generated content and advocate for workflows that ensure both protection and originality. Curt and Josh also spotlight the CLOWD AI Film Festival, which promotes ethical, hybrid AI filmmaking and champions creators with real storytelling chops. They discuss the importance of elevating AI films beyond YouTube virality, envisioning a future where real humans and real tools work in concert to reimagine what filmmaking can be. Whether you're a filmmaker, technologist, or IP nerd, this episode is a compelling exploration of AI’s promise — and peril — in the future of storytelling. Topics Discussed AI disruption in media and entertainmentHollywood’s outdated studio system and distribution monopolyThe studio vs. creator power shift enabled by AICopyright law in the age of AICreative ownership vs. public domain issuesCommoditization of AI tools and open-source alternativesImportance of hybrid workflows for copyright protectionOpportunities for collaborative, independent filmmakingRole of AI in post-production vs. content creationCLOWD AI Film Festival and ethical filmmakingTransmedia storytelling and future of interactive contentPublic benefit vs. shareholder capitalism in big tech URLs Mentioned Likeness Labs: https://www.likenesslabs.aiCLOWD AI Film Festival: https://www.clowdfilmfestival.com (user's implied)24i (CTV platform mentioned): https://www.24i.com Quotes “Let’s stop trying to get our movie made by the studios and start making our own movies using these tools.” — Joshua Otten “The real disruption is not AI replacing artists. It’s AI replacing studios.” — Joshua Otten “If you’re a filmmaker, your strategic advantage is storytelling. Most AI users have no idea how to tell a story.” — Curt Doty “AI is not the enemy — it's the tool that gives creatives more control over production, IP, and distribution.” — Joshua Otten “Hollywood has always been scrappy. That spirit of collaboration is what’s going to drive this next era.” — Curt Doty “You don’t need to build another model or platform. You need to own IP. That’s where the real value lies.” — Joshua Otten “The law is incentivizing hybrid creation.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of RealmIQ: SESSIONS, host Curt Doty interviews Yulia Gushchina, Head of Strategic Business Development at Filmustage, and discuss how their dynamic AI platform empowers filmmakers in pre-production processes such as script breakdowns, scheduling, analysis, synopsis crafting, and budgeting. She contrasts AI adoption in filmmaking between the U.S. and Europe, highlighting the faster pace in Hollywood and the stricter regulatory framework in the EU under the AI Act. While AI is accelerating certain tasks and will inevitably transform post-production roles, Yulia stresses that AI output still requires human oversight, cleanup, and responsibility. Filmustage is working to educate users and build trust as the industry navigates this technological shift.

They want results, they don’t have a lot of money, they have brilliant ideas and they want to get the result.” — Yulia Gushchina “There’s no magic—it’s just software. Machine learning made by humans, not perfect.” — Yulia Gushchina “It’s the Wild West. So it’s very interesting that, as you’re developing your policies and your contracts, the government is weighing in and making recommendations—not really looking over your shoulder, but being that helpful partner, so to speak, to enable AI adoption.” — Curt “Indie is going to lead the way in this, and even in documentaries. I think there’s ways to use AI in documentaries with historical recreations and stuff like that… help support when you don’t have footage of Henry VIII.” — Curt “The challenge is not making faster films, but always making better films. Even without AI, Hollywood can pump out really bad movies.” — Curt “That first AI film that launches is going to be judged as a film, not as an ‘AI film,’ and suffer critique based on the story, the performance, the emotion—all those traditional things found in films.” — Curt “I’m interested in seeing what those professionals do with these tools—not be displaced, but become a superpower within the industry.” — Curt “It’s good to know that there’s still humans behind customer service, right? Everything can’t get automated yet.” — Curt “The number one concern in Hollywood is, number one, the protection of IP.” — Curt Learn more at https://filmustage.com/ Support the show Receive our weekly newsletter: Subscribe on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7024758748661391360 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/curtdoty/ Need branding or marketing?
