The Asian Contents & Film Market is entering its second year with new technology-focused programs, as its chief highlights AI, Korean cinema’s recovery, and market spotlights on Thailand and Japan.
An “AI push” with no shipped tool, no signed deal, no numbers is just a press release. Show me the receipts.
Ten years from now: AI-generated filler, empty theaters, a market chief still hailing the “recovery.” Same broken business model, new buzzword.
AI push. Sure. Translation: pitch decks in Korean, dashboards in English, and a hall full of vendors reselling the same model with different logos. Two years out, three players own the tools, everyone else rents them by the minute, and the crews who shot the good years get a farewell reel. Markets don’t recover. They get restructured. Guess who gets restructured out.
AI slop now, empty theaters later.
