If you still think AI film is only for newcomers, watch who is picking it up. Kim Sung-soo, director of 12.12: The Day, told a Kling panel in Busan that Worm Train, his Kafka-inspired short, changed how he imagines and collaborates, and that he will not go back to the old way.
He kept a nine-person crew, generated only what AI could hold, and finished the rest traditionally. The craft line from the room is blunt: without directors, art directors and DPs who can frame a shot, AI output looks the same. Taste still directs.
