David Shore, creator and director of successful series such as House and The Good Doctor, has been awarded an honorary prize in recognition of his outstanding career at the Cádiz Festival. Despite feeling a certain shyness about receiving awards, Shore expressed gratitude for this recognition, especially because it comes from a festival that promotes series, a format he believes is on the rise and at its best.
In an interview, Shore expressed his concern about the use of Artificial Intelligence in script creation, noting that caution is necessary and that the risks involved need to be understood. He also referred to the importance of knowing the audience's reaction to different situations, which can influence the development of plots and characters in series.
The creator also reflected on the current landscape of television fiction worldwide, highlighting the quality of current productions and the universality of the stories being told. However, he pointed out the lack of regulation in the fiction market, where financial concerns often take precedence over artistic quality.
Shore, known for his work on medical series like House and The Good Doctor, admitted that he has no medical knowledge and that his training was in law. Despite this, his creations have been widely acclaimed for addressing themes that spark public interest, especially those related to life and death.
The series creator also referred to the rise of television series, highlighting the golden age they are currently experiencing. Shore expressed gratitude for the opportunity to enjoy high-quality productions from the comfort of home, as opposed to the cinematic experience, and expressed his wish that in the future quality prevails over budget constraints in the television industry.
