Patricia Beckmann Wells is at the forefront of AI-driven filmmaking, pioneering a unique multi-tool pipeline that’s changing the way stories are told. In this episode of the Live Your Dreams Podcast, she dives into the creative and technical process behind Mombomb, Part 1, that has been named an official selection of the 31st Slamdance Film Festival in the Shorts Episodes category.
Blending personal history with cutting-edge technology, Mombomb is more than just a horror fairytale—it’s a deeply personal project inspired by real events from Beckmann Wells’ childhood in Toledo, Ohio, a city plagued by serial killers in the 1970s. The series was brought to life using over a dozen AI tools in an innovative workflow that integrates artificial intelligence with virtual production techniques, setting a new benchmark for independent filmmaking. With a growing number of festival accolades and a feature film in development, Mombomb proves that AI isn't just a tool—it's a game-changer for storytelling.
As one of the leading voices in AI-enhanced filmmaking, Beckmann Wells shares her journey, the ethical and creative implications of AI in cinema, and what the future holds for independent creators using emerging technology.
Catch the second screening of Mombomb, Part 1 at Slamdance 2025 on Tuesday, February 25th at 7:45 PM at Landmark Theater 3 (8000 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90046).
