YouTube Creator Zack London's AI-Animated Feature 'Gods Don't Give Gifts' Lands AGC International Distribution Deal

AGC International, the sales and distribution arm of AGC Studios, has acquired worldwide distribution rights to "Gods Don't Give Gifts," an AI-assisted animated sci-fi feature directed by YouTube creator Zack London — known online as "Gossip Goblin." The film is set for a U.S. theatrical release on December 4 and, per AGC Studios, will be the first AI-assisted film to receive a traditional theatrical rollout and awards campaign. WME Independent brokered the U.S. sale and continues to consult on theatrical plans, while AGC holds international rights. The film's trailer has surpassed 15 million views since its October 6 release.

London described the project as a 10-month-plus collaborative effort involving writers, artists, animators, voice actors, musicians, and a traditional post-production crew, with AI used as "a tool to help us tell our story at scale." Producer Edward Saatchi — whose company Fable is an Amazon-backed studio behind the AI television platform Showrunner — called the deal "a powerful signal to exhibitors and audiences that AI-driven filmmaking, when it's executed in the right way, belongs on the big screen." The deal also underscores AGC's broader push into creator-driven and AI-integrated content, which includes the launch of AGC Digital and a strategic investment in Collage.
