Backrooms Director Kane Parsons: AI Just Isn’t It For Movies!

Kane Parsons, the young director, talking about AI and filmmaking.
  • Why the Backrooms director isn’t a fan of AI
  • The real purpose of making movies (according to Kane!)
  • Our take on tech and creativity

Finally, some news about making movies with heart! We just heard from Kane Parsons, the brilliant mind behind “Backrooms.” You know, the scary online series that really nailed that eerie, deserted vibe? Well, he’s only 20, and he’s already dropping wisdom bombs.

Kane recently chatted with The Australian. And guess what? He’s not here for AI taking over Hollywood. Not at all. He said using those tools “defeats the purpose” of filmmaking. Straight talk.

He told them he gets “no enjoyment” from AI. It’s like, where’s the fun? Where’s the sweat and soul you put into creating something? He feels like “most well-adjusted people” are on his side with this. We get it.

For Kane, if he could just snap his fingers and make generative AI vanish, he totally would. Poof! Gone. It just doesn’t fit the creative aesthetic of bringing a unique vision to life. It’s all about that human touch, right?

This really echoes what we were talking about before. Remember when we covered how Backrooms Director Kane Parsons Says AI Is Killing the Vibe? It seems he’s sticking to his guns. And we love to see it.

It’s not just about flashy effects; it’s about the feeling. The artistic journey. Whether it’s the thrill of watching Camila Cabello’s new chapter or the drama around CBS News, people connect with real stories and real effort. Not machines pretending to create.

Our Take

We totally stand with Kane on this. Filmmaking, like any art, is about pouring yourself into it. It’s about vision. It’s about that specific vibe only a human can conjure.

AI might be super fast, but does it truly understand emotion? The subtle colors of a scene? The feeling of dread in a “Backrooms” hallway? We think genuine art needs genuine hands, genuine ideas. That’s the magic. That’s the real aesthetic.
