Biography
Gavin Carlton is a member of the DigiAI Studio community on Skool, where he shares his AI filmmaking work. The pages do not say where he is based or give a fuller background.
His film The Sultana Disaster of 1865 is a 23-minute AI cinematic documentary that, in his words, took the last few months to build. He describes it as a live-action style recreation with acting and action sequences rather than narration over stock footage.
The film covers the Sultana, the steamboat that exploded on the Mississippi in April 1865 and which he calls the deadliest maritime disaster in US history, one few people know about. It was published on YouTube as "Sultana 1865: The Civil War Horror Lincoln's Death Erased" on a channel called Generative History, and he offered to discuss his production pipeline with other members.
