Pocket Hollywood: Transforming Film Pre-Production with AI Framework

Abstract

Pocket Hollywood is an AI assistant designed to streamline the film pre-production process, addressing challenges in scriptwriting, storyboarding, budgeting, and logistics. Leveraging OpenAI’s generative models—GPT-4o Mini and DALL·E 3—this framework enables users to focus on their creative process by reducing the financial or technical overhead required to bring a film to life. This paper explores the framework; its inner workings, development process, content generation capabilities through prompt engineering, and the broader implications of integrating AI into filmmaking. Using “Secrets of El Morro”, we illustrate its potential to create narratives, visuals, and script breakdowns, showcasing the transformative role of AI in this industry.
