AI-Made Sci-Fi Feature 'Gods Don't Give Gifts' Heads to the American Film Market
AGC International is adding Gods Don't Give Gifts to its distribution slate and will introduce the film to buyers at the American Film Market, Deadline reported on 22 October. The film is a feature-length sci-fi epic made entirely with artificial intelligence, and it is the first feature from creator Zack London, who posts online as Gossip Goblin.
AGC International is the sales and distribution arm of AGC Studios, the company led by Stuart Ford. A sales company finds buyers for a film in each territory, and those buyers pay for the right to show it in cinemas or on streaming services. The American Film Market, held each year for film buyers and sellers, is where many of those deals begin.
The film is set for a U.S. release on December 4, 2026, through Fable and Gossip Goblin. Deadline reports that it is one of the first fully AI-generated movies lined up for a theatrical release, which means a run in cinemas. WME Independent is consulting on the film's global release strategy, covering how and where it will be shown beyond the United States.
London wrote the script with Jacob Batchelor and produced it with Edward Saatchi. Abhi Som, Ravi Bhaskaran, Todd Terrazas and Gino Bautista are executive producers. Forbes reported in July that Fable produced the film, and that London planned to take it to US theatres. In his own Instagram post, London said the film is coming to cinemas this winter.
London's audience is already large. His Gossip Goblin YouTube channel has 1.4 million subscribers. The film's trailer went online on October 6 and has passed 15 million views, according to Deadline.
Producers are also pursuing an awards campaign aimed at the Academy's animation category. An awards campaign is a push to persuade voters in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the group behind the Oscars, to consider a film for a prize.
For now, the calendar is clear: a market debut for buyers this autumn, and a cinema release date in early December. How many territories buy the film, and on what terms, will show up in the weeks ahead as the market and release plans take shape.
