A new startup pledges to give authors an easier way to bring their books to life for the screen. It, naturally, involves AI.

Authors First, founded by private equity veteran Robert Hamwee, promises to let science-fiction and fantasy scribes adapt their titles as closely to their intended vision as possible. The company uses a combination of AI generators like Seedance 2.5 and Nano Banana and “other technology,” including visual effects platforms such as Blender, to help craft the adaptations without the budget considerations traditionally associated with such work that could impede them at Hollywood studios.
