Tye Sheridan, the lead actor in films such as Ready Player One, X-Men, and Mud, and Nikola Todorovic, award-winning filmmaker, and visual effects supervisor, met on a set in 2016.

They quickly became best friends, and eventually cofounders of Wonder Dynamics, a company on harnessing AI to revolutionize filmmaking. They're building AI software that makes VFX special effects affordable and accessible on a browser, ultimately empowering a whole new generation of people to create new types of content that were previously reserved for big-budget studios. Today, they are about to launch to the public after compiling hundreds of thousands of users on their waitlist, and an advisory board that includes the likes of Steven Spielberg.

We discuss how AI will empower filmmakers to use CGI and animation, Hollywood’s history with innovation, how content will change, their personal journeys, and much more.
