REAL ARTISTS is the Emmy award-winning sci-fi short film about a young animator who discovers on an interview for her dream job that the films produced by her potential employer are not made entirely by people.

The short film is based on a short story by lauded author Ken Liu. It was adapted to screen and directed by accomplished filmmaker Cameo Wood.

During our interview with Wood, she discusses her inspiration for adapting Liu’s short story to film. She also shares her unique perspective on the impact emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality are having on our daily lives - and how that influence may affect how art is both created and consumed.
