Liman describes making 'Bitcoin,' a full feature film shot on a single stage with AI-generated environments across 150 virtual locations, reducing post-production from an estimated 40 years to 6 months using tools like Gemini. They also cover 'Asteroid,' an immersive XR film for the Android XR headset featuring an AI-driven interactive character (DK Metcalf) powered by Gemini Live native audio.
