Chris Bird launches AI tools for film development and forecasting

Bird is bringing AI into two parts of the filmmaking workflow: forecasting through HawksHead AI and visual development through CineMe. That matters because it ties data analysis and creative iteration to the same founder-led launch, rather than a single-purpose tool. For the wider video ecosystem, the signal is that AI products are moving further into pre-production decision-making and content development. The concrete item to watch is how Bird defines each product in practice, since the article only identifies the platforms and their functions.
