This Indie Director Uses AI in her Filmmaking | DENIM

Brandon Nick sits down with Tedra Wilson aka TT the Artist to talk DENIM, her genre-bending, SXSW award-winning doc celebrating LGBTQIA+ creativity. TT lifts the curtain behind the films’ journey, which includes a thieving, sabotaging producer. Then it’s DIY grit vs. mainstream polish, a riveting kiki on the intersection AI and art, festival stories, and a lesbian love-story starring Queen Latifah and Vivica A. Fox.DENIM is available to watch on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/1076532222Festival Mentions: SXSW, Best Director at SeriesFest, NewFest 37, Bushwick Film FestivalFilm Festival Friends is a podcast celebrating queer cinema, craft, and culture.
