AI isn’t here to replace documentary filmmakers. Used well, it saves time, cuts friction, and lets stories get made faster. In this session, Andy Burgess from Faultline shows how he uses AI as a production assistant, not to generate content, but to keep the work moving. He leans on it to plan timelines, solve logistics, dig up sources, find interviewees, review transcripts, and shape first drafts. The result: Less time stuck in the weeds, more time to focus on the story itself. This is a look at adapting your creative process in an AI-driven world, while keeping the heart of your storytelling firmly human.
