LTM, the Business Creativity partner to global enterprises, has announced a collaboration with filmmaker and storyteller Shekhar Kapur, who will serve as Strategic Advisor to the LTM BlueVerse™ Craft business unit. BlueVerse Craft works with enterprises to develop AI-powered creative capabilities by combining strategy, creativity, technology and production.

“Storytelling has always evolved with technology. From the camera to digital filmmaking, each technological leap has expanded the canvas of human imagination. AI represents perhaps the most profound shift yet. The opportunity is not to replace creativity, but to give creators new ways to imagine, experiment and tell stories. I am delighted to work with LTM BlueVerse Craft as it explores this new frontier where technology can expand the possibilities of human creativity,” said Shekhar Kapur.
