A24 plans to involve its roster of artists. The studio intends to bring in talents including Kane Parsons, the YouTube creator and director of The Backrooms. In a conversation with The Australian earlier this month, Parsons said “generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot” and that he gets “no enjoyment” out of using the technology on any project.
