Worth a Look

Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...

Promise: What Does a Gen AI Content Studio Look Like?

www.indiewire.com/news: In November, a new type of content studio, Promise, was launched. Backed by high-profile investors, including producer Peter Chernin, Promise announced at its outset that it aimed to produce film and TV series by incorporating generative artificial intelligence tools into its production workflow, partly by utilizing its proprietary software MUSE.

See photos from her visit, which also included a tour of their costuming building and fabric library, character meet-and-greet, and more!

 

B.C. film/TV unions draw lines on AI use

Business in Vancouver: Regulations in B.C.’s film and TV industry are keeping the threat artificial intelligence poses to job security at bay for now, but some creative sector unions are struggling with adoption and what it might mean for members. From a screenwriting standpoint, the industry hasn’t yet experienced the full impact of AI, nor has the technology threatened the work of screenwriting professionals, said Writers Guild of Canada (WGC) Pacific-Western region councillor Jason Filiatrault.

 

Cause for Celebration and Calls for Change: The Museum of Broadway's Black Storytellers Exhibit

www.broadwayworld.com: The energy of attendees walking through the Museum of Broadway's new limited-time exhibit centered around Black storytellers was palpable during its February 3rd opening night. Crafting Excellence: Black Storytellers of Broadway — presented in partnership with Broadway Cares — highlights the work of playwrights, librettists, lyricists, and composers spanning decades.

 

How Could the Audition Process be Better for Dancers—and for Hiring Teams?

Dance Magazine: With more talented dancers competing for fewer jobs, audition season has become a gauntlet of overcrowded open calls and time-consuming self-tapes. Could auditions be more productive and less painful, for performers and hiring teams alike? A group of high-level performers and choreographers weigh in on their biggest audition issues—and offer solutions.

Worth a Look

Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...

 

FireAid Benefit Concerts Estimated to Have Raised $100M For L.A.

www.hollywoodreporter.com: The FireAid benefit concerts in Los Angeles, which took place on January 30 and featured performances from dozens of artists including Billie Eilish, Green Day and Stevie Nicks, are expected to have raised more than $100 million to support recovery across the city, organizers announced on Tuesday.


Opinion | Hank Azaria’s ‘Simpsons’ Voices Won’t Be Fully Replicated by A.I.

The New York Times: I imagine that soon enough, artificial intelligence will be able to recreate the sounds of the more than 100 voices I created for characters on “The Simpsons” over almost four decades. It makes me sad to think about it. Not to mention, it seems just plain wrong to steal my likeness or sound — or anyone else’s.


As Off Broadway Crews Unionize, Workers See Hope, Producers Peril

The New York Times: Striking stage crews have idled the nonprofit Atlantic Theater Company — the birthplace of the musicals “Spring Awakening,” “The Band’s Visit” and “Kimberly Akimbo,” which all transferred to Broadway and won Tonys. The strike, which began last month, comes amid a drive to unionize stagehands and crews at Off Broadway theaters.


The Beatles' 'Now and Then' Was Made With AI (and That's Okay)

Lifehacker: I happened to catch some of the Grammy Awards last night, and while pop, rap, and country definitely took center stage, it was the Best Rock Performance category that most caught my attention. The award went to The Beatles for their song "Now and Then," which is a confusing sentence in 2025. You might be aware The Beatles operated largely in the 1960s, not the 2020s, and seeing as only half the group is still alive, winning a Grammy for a new song might sound a bit strange.


New NEA Guidelines Require Compliance With Trump’s Anti-DEI, Anti-Trans Orders

AMERICAN THEATRE: Last week American artists and arts organizations learned that they won’t be spared from President Trump’s attempts to reshape the federal government in his image, which has roiled agencies all over Washington, D.C., and raised several legal and constitutional alarms since his inauguration last month.
