Here's what's actually happening inside that building, and what to do about it.

On May the Fourth, it's worth remembering that before George Lucas could tell the story he imagined, he had to invent the tools to tell it. Forty-five years later, AI creators are living inside that same moment, and the ones who understand that technology has always been in service of feeling are the ones who will shape what cinema becomes next.
