The new Netflix docuseries American Murder: Gabby Petito controversially uses AI voice recreation technology to narrate Gabby Petito's journal entries and texts, designed to give her a voice posthumously. While some criticize this method as unsettling, the filmmakers received family approval before proceeding. Directors Julia Willoughby Nason and Michael Gasparro emphasize telling Gabby's story through her own words and materials, balancing the portrayal of the crime's severity with aspects of her life beyond her relationship with Brian Laundrie.
At the end of the day, we wanted to tell the story as much through Gabby as possible. It's her story.
We reached out to the family to get their blessing and then we worked diligently to represent it in exactly how it was written.
We really didn't want to oversaturate the viewer and we wanted to balance it out with the actual scope of the crime.
We thought it was really important to bring that to life, especially with all of her journals since she was young.
