Late Night Labs' schedule includes film and television projects with a variety of filmmakers, animators and documentarians, the first of which will debut later this year.

Our shared vision is to use this new technology to , giving artists clear ownership of their creations.”
“Generative AI is a tool that can be used in the creative process,” Day added. “We have the opportunity to prepare for future use. With this goal in mind, we have developed proprietary AI technology that gives artists unprecedented control over every aspect of their work. .”
“Even if you could encourage people to watch a feature film, would you really want to do that?” Roffey said. “There is joy in the process of filmmaking, and we want to put that artistry more central than the technology.

“Anyone paying attention knows that AI is already ubiquitous,” Lyon added. “For us artists, it seems better to help shape this revolution than to be at its mercy.”
