Huge opportunity for an ambitious engineer who wants to be part of a remarkable team of talented, curious, good people making big moves!

such a timely and pleasing presentation on societal collapse in a tone that reminds me of Alan Watts blended with Chaplin's The Great Dictator speech bravo @AzeAlter
Is this our world today? The Quiet Collapse from RED RAINBOW

AI film folks. We've got an office in LA now. Reach out and let's link up.
We just opened an office in LA to make movies. If you’re a director, writer, showrunner, filmmaker, or editor come by. Gonna start hosting dinners soon.

I was an outsider to the film industry. But I love movies. Used to watch a movie a day. Wrote a 120 page screenplay. And now I’m literally running a studio. Making movies. You can just do things.

@trueshort Started as true crime. Expanding into other genres full speed ahead. Proud to be creating and innovating alongside all of these remarkable operations. Making moves.
Short dramas have quietly become a massive entertainment format. Think next-gen soap operas: serialized, mobile-first, and monetized like games. In China, they already generate more revenue than the domestic box office. And now AI is going to blow this format wide open 👇

Thrilled to be a part of this new wave. Exciting moment of shot-form content changing the game.
Replying to @venturetwins
There are opportunities for AI to disrupt every layer. We’re already seeing startups emerge across the stack - from creator tools like @plotpartyai to AI-native distribution platforms like TrueShort and @watchmochi. AI makes content faster + cheaper to produce. And it also expands the format beyond romance / soap opera tropes. TrueShort, for example, is finding traction with true crime.

loving this breakdown as usual from @PJaccetturo giving a peak behind the process with the remarkable @Kavanthekid bravo gents for trailblazing and sharing so generously what a thrilling time to be creating and seeing so much creativity unleashed and manifested so rapidly
You almost missed out on 10 insane AI cheat codes from the GOAT Kavan just dropped a masterclass on how he built "The Chronicles of Bone" in Magnific as an original series. I broke down the entire process into 7 simple steps. 🧵👇

inspired seeing more top creators like @Uncanny_Harry wielding these tools for narrative projects the combo of directorial taste + technical skills required to pull off these performances and seamlessness is where it's at
I had to abandon this short due to a lack of time, but will hopefully return to it in the future. Though it worth sharing as it shows where we are in terms of making a conventional film with with AI. It's from a script I wrote over 15 years ago but never made. This was put together with @Kling_ai @dreamina_ai @Magnific_AI and @topazlabs

further testings for my adaptation of H.G. Wells' "The Country of the Blind" using Nano Banana Pro in Luma (an absolute necessity when building with the creative agent at this project scale) and Seedance 2.0 in Runway
