Scorsese Partners With AI Startup for Storyboarding
The Spin
Narrative A
Scorsese partnering with an AI startup to replace storyboard artists is a betrayal of the collaborative craft that makes cinema great. Generative AI steals from artists without compensation, and normalizing it at the top of Hollywood accelerates job losses for workers earning 10–30k a film. A director of his stature lending his name to this technology does real damage.
Narrative B
Scorsese has adapted to every major shift in cinema — sound, color, CGI, 3D — and AI-assisted storyboarding is simply the next evolution. FLUX helps get the vision in his head in front of his crew faster, without sacrificing craft or human judgment. Dismissing this tool would ignore how technology has always expanded what storytelling can do.
