Welcome to MACHINE CINEMA

…or How I Learned to Stop Fearing Robots and Love Getting Creative.

Unless something really wild happens, this AI thing is here and it’s going to change a lot of other things. Maybe you’re someone who misses point and shoot cameras, or perhaps enjoyed the art of mixing your own paints, or perhaps think the only way to really experience a violin is to spend years of training to properly play one yourself. You’re not wrong to feel or think these things, but there’s many many more people today taking pictures with iPhones, and using Photoshop to make pictures and using synthesizers to make music. And there’s huge industries born out of those technologies involved, and lots of jobs in those industries, and frankly lots and lots of creative stuff to enjoy.

At Machine Cinema, we’re putting on our explorer hats to find out what’s next. We’re agnostic to the tools, but fiercely loyal to those tinkering with them. While the industrial dust settles, and the business winds decide which way they want to blow, we’re here betting on the creators.
