In this episode of Technically Creative, Orlando sits down
with filmmaker and technologist Tom Paton, founder of
AImation, to explore how AI is already disrupting the
entertainment industry — and why the next generation of
filmmakers won’t need studios, crews, or even cameras.

From releasing the first feature-length AI film Where the
Robots Grow to building a closed-beta streaming platform for
gamified video-on-demand (GVOD), Tom lays out a radically
efficient future for storytelling. A future where two people can
make a full film in six weeks, powered by generative tools and
creative instinct.

He also explains why legacy Hollywood is so unprepared for what’s
coming: decentralized creators, genre-bending formats, and a new
pipeline where production starts after post. The old
model? It’s not just outdated — it’s already being replaced.

Orlando and Tom uncover:

Why AI filmmaking is like Sundance in the Handycam era

How Where the Robots Grow was built by 9 people in
under 90 days

The new economics of post-first production and
studio-less pipelines

What GVOD means for content distribution after the death of
subscription models

How AImation is positioning as the “AMC Theatres of
AI”

Why the industry’s obsession with “tools” misses the point of
agentic collaboration
