Summary

The Art Directors Guild (IATSE Local 800) has publicly condemned legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese for his new role as an advisor to AI firm Black Forest Labs, calling it a "betrayal" of the collaborative nature of cinema. Scorsese promoted the company's generative AI tool Flux for storyboarding, which the Guild argues turns his back on the human artists who helped create his most memorable works throughout his career.
