AI Burnout & The Punk Rock Future of Film – Kevin Friel｜BC +AI Film Club Mar 2026

Kevin Friel unpacks four weeks of AI film chaos—new models, new editors, new agents—and the first medical diagnosis of AI burnout. The paradox? The people embracing AI most are burning out first. 45% higher burnout rate among frequent AI users. Productivity peaks at 1-3 tools, crashes at 4+.

Kevin’s answer: punk rock. DIY venues, no gatekeepers, community over platforms. AI video tools dropped filmmaking costs by 60-80%, but tools aren’t enough. You need spaces, curation, and intent. He shares a vision for community-based AI film experiences—part screening, part installation, part playground—where audiences don’t just watch, they play in the universe.
