AI Isn’t the Enemy—Fear Is: How Hollywood’s Fear of Innovation is Fueling Filmmaker Liberation

🎥 AI ISN’T THE ENEMY—FEAR IS
How Hollywood’s Fear of Innovation Repeats Itself—and Why Filmmakers Should Embrace AI Like a Weapon, Not a Threat

In 1982, MPAA president Jack Valenti testified before Congress and infamously said:
“The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman home alone.”
Let that sink in.

The same man who swore that home video would murder the movie business ended up watching it become one of the most profitable revenue streams Hollywood ever touched. VHS didn’t strangle cinema—it revived it.

Fast forward to 2025 and guess what?
They’re screaming again.
Only this time, the “strangler” has a new name: AI.

Studio execs and union leaders are sounding the alarms like it's Judgment Day. But here’s the truth they won’t say out loud:
AI isn’t a threat to creators—it’s a threat to gatekeepers.

When you can use AI to generate pitch decks, format your scripts, animate your storyboards, auto-tag metadata for deliverables, clone your voice for a temp dub, or generate cinematic teasers on a budget... you're no longer dependent on the bloated bureaucracy that’s been bleeding indie filmmakers dry for decades.

They're not afraid AI will ruin art.
They’re afraid it’ll put power in your hands.

Let them panic.

You? You build.

Because at Filmmaker Berserk, we don’t wait for permission. We take the tech they fear and turn it into armor, ammo, and income.

Just like the VCR didn’t kill film—AI isn’t here to destroy filmmaking.
It’s here to liberate the ones who’ve been locked out.
