AI Didn’t Kill Indie Film, It Democratized It: Jenny Krakovsky’s 30-Day Feature Challenge

Greg Matusky sits down with Jenny Krakovsky, a UK film director and writer who set out to make a feature film using only AI tools in 30 days. Trained at Bournemouth Film School and mentored by Colin Young, founder of the National Film & Television School, Jenny built her career directing campaigns for Universal, GQ, ITV, and Gillette. She brings that traditionalist’s eye to a radically new toolkit, and explains why her viral AI experiment caught the attention of Oscar-winning screenwriter Roger Avary, who called it “the vanguard” of indie filmmaking.
