AI UNLEASHED – Episode 2 – Taking Over Hollywood with Elliot Grove

In this episode, I sit down with Elliot Grove, the founder of the Raindance Film Festival and co-founder of the British Independent Film Awards. For more than three decades, Elliot has been one of the world’s leading champions of independent filmmaking, helping thousands of filmmakers launch their careers through Raindance, film education, and his books on screenwriting and low-budget production.

We explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping filmmaking, storytelling and the creative process. Rather than asking whether AI will replace filmmakers, we discuss how creators can use these new tools to work smarter, remain authentic, and continue making compelling films in a rapidly changing industry.

Topics include:
• AI and the future of filmmaking
• Independent film in the age of AI
• Creativity versus automation
• Storytelling that audiences still connect with
• Opportunities and challenges for filmmakers
• Building a sustainable creative career

Whether you’re a filmmaker, writer, producer, or simply fascinated by where AI is taking the creative industries, this conversation offers practical insights from someone who has spent a lifetime supporting independent creators.
