TROIS-RIVIÈRES, QC — August 25, 2025 — Leads & Copy — RTA Intelligence Inc. has released a study demonstrating the potential impact of artificial intelligence on Canada’s film industry, suggesting that AI could significantly reduce production costs and broaden access to creative opportunities.
The study analyzed Sébastien Pilote’s “Maria Chapdelaine” (2021), determining a cost of $8,000 per cinematic shot, highlighting the financial challenges in Canadian film production. The research indicates that AI technologies could cut costs by up to 40% through automated pre-visualization, AI-generated environments, streamlined post-production, and reduced crew needs.
RTA Intelligence illustrates AI’s capabilities with Oceanne.ai, a transmedia project created by a single Canadian creator using AI. This project includes a 25-song musical catalog, an autobiography, a web series, live performances, a feature film, and a rock opera.
The study suggests that AI could open film creation to underrepresented communities, potentially transforming Canada into a global content production hub. Pierre Côté, founder of RTA Intelligence Inc., emphasizes the need for Canada to embrace this technological opportunity.
The 40% cost reduction could democratize filmmaking, reduce geographic barriers, accelerate production, and encourage creative risk-taking.
