In Iran and Australia, first-time filmmaker Ashkan Koosha created a feature-length movie using AI technology for just $2,000 and a production time of three months. This low-budget AI-driven approach has sparked controversy in Hollywood, dividing opinions among industry veterans and audiences.

Some, like those disappointed by Tribeca's decision to screen the film as 'human storytelling,' question the artistic value and authenticity of AI-generated cinema. The debate highlights tensions between traditional filmmaking methods and emerging AI technologies in the entertainment industry.

The controversy continues as Hollywood grapples with the implications of AI on creativity and storytelling.
