The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist

Today on Art of the Cut we discuss the documentary, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist with the editors of the film, Daysha Broadway, ACE, and Davis Coombe. The film was produced and directed by some of the same team that created the film Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.

Daysha’s been on Art of the Cut before for The Black Lady Sketch Show, for which she won an Emmy and was nominated for an ACE Eddie Award. She was also nominated for Emmys for Born This Way, and a Peabody Award for Surviving R. Kelly.

Davis is known for editing Casting JonBenet, The Social Dilemma for which he is an Emmy winner, Saving Face for which he won another Emmy, and Chasing Coral.

Our discussion today is about the structure of the film, creatively re-purposing animation, and when not to cut on-camera interviews.
