Azeez Danial & Liyana Hanif: The Proposal, The Creative Scene, and A.I.

In this episode I got to sit with two powerhouses from the creative industry; Azeez Danial & Liyana Hanif who also happen to be engaged and soon (like, real soon) to be married. I took the chance to get to know them better by asking how they came together and talk about the proposal video that went viral. After that we got down to a serious, but still light-hearted conversation about the state of the creative and film industry and how the progression of technology, mainly Artificial Intelligence could affect designers and filmmakers in the near future.
