  867. Bone Keeper (2026; dir. Howard J. Ford) — At the Movies

  Aug 12, 202651 min

  Tentacles, social media influencers, and John Rhys-Davies, oh my! Shaun Duke and Daniel Haeusser join forces to talk about Bone Keeper , an indie horror film written and directed by Howard J. Ford! Together, they tackle the film’s controversial use of AI, its approach to storytelling and character, the so-called “science” of the creature, and more! Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode! Show Notes: Bone Keeper (IMDb) Statement from Howard J. Ford on AI Use: “ Bone Keeper was a huge passion project and a labour of love, with the team hugely committed to making the film just as films have always been made, with real actors in real locations instead of a green-screen studio, the creatures were designed by human hand and mind (VFX artist Giordano Aita) and they also used traditional VFX. There was however, some movement of the creatures which were done in/with AI. There are no ‘full AI sequences’ in Bone Keeper at all, just the new technology used to create movement of the designed creatures that would otherwise have cost over six figures to do, which was beyond the budget. It was a tool to keep the film truly indie and the team are hugely proud of what they’ve achieved. “ Video versions of our episodes appear on our handy YouTube channel ! Sub and watch!
