‼️UNPOPULAR OPINION‼️ Being "too old" for games is a myth made by boring people.🫶

People are perfectly comfortable letting algorithms decide what they watch, buy, listen to, and read. But the moment someone uses AI to help make a creative decision, suddenly we’re worried about machines influencing human thought. We’ve been outsourcing decisions to technology for years. AI just made it impossible to ignore.

There’s Magic in Learning 🪄

After forty years in front of the camera, I’ll be directing my first feature film, SO HELP ME GOD: a Civil War epic about a Union soldier named Albert Townsend, who should have received the Medal of Honor but didn’t. Clerical error. I learned of Albert through his descendants’ archival research. What I found was more than an injustice waiting to be corrected. It was a story of friendship and extraordinary courage: an unassuming young man becoming a soldier who held his ground, and his principles, under fire. That’s a story worth telling on the largest possible scale. And we’re inviting the people who want to see it told to help bring it to the screen, as investors in the film through Republic. We intend to do it justice: real cannons, one hundred horses, and the cast in period-accurate uniforms. We’ve brought on Mark Huffam, whose work includes Saving Private Ryan, Game of Thrones, and The Martian, to produce it. He knows what it takes to make an epic, and how much depends on the human story at its heart. At the Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I introduced the project alongside Civil War historian Brad Quinlin, members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and representatives of Civil War Roundtables. We’re also supporting the campaign for Albert’s posthumous Medal of Honor. His descendants are still fighting to see his courage properly recognized. This picture is about friendship, love, and honor — and common people rising to accomplish extraordinary things. I want to give that story everything it deserves. I hope you will lift the banner with us. Learn more about the film and the opportunity to invest: sohelpmegod.film

AI generated content is quickly going to be understood to be an industrialized commodity rather than the fun new toy. Craft and human production is going to have more and more value. Made by hand is modern luxury (and always was).

People who don’t use AI in their work are like the new vegans. How will you know they don’t use it? Ohh. They’ll tell you. It’s basically their whole identity 😂

Serious question but what the actual fuck is going to happen when practically everyone has lost their job to AI, and governments have no tax revenue to invest in vital infrastructure, but millions of unemployed people to support?

The less you know about a subject, the harder it is to recognize when AI is giving you a bad answer.

A little sneak peak at my upcoming Halloween Short. Introducing Reginald and Jake. "The Nine Lives of Reginald Whiskerwick" coming soon

Truth is, the AI film scene is industry now. and like every industry before it, the first thing it ate was its own promise. The promise was beautiful and meant something. no gatekeepers. no permission. no rich uncle, no film school, no crew of a 100, no producer deciding your story wasn’t “marketable.” just you, an idea and a machine that didn’t care who your father was. for a moment the gates were open, and everyone walked through They didn’t like that. It started with the industry moving in. Deals with CapCut. Partnerships. Then, almost overnight, Hollywood directors who had spent years calling it the death of cinema were slowly, reluctantly writing cheques for it. That could have been a good thing. Money, legitimacy, a bridge between two worlds. But they didn’t come alone. They brought the old ways with them. Suddenly there were festivals. Then fees to enter the festivals. Then their selected people on the list of juries, “Official selections.” Laurels on posters. Which on people should be good. But with it the gatekeeping. And trust me its there behind the scenes they have their blacklists. See early access is the new nepotism. Follower count is the new budget. That's why those in those circles started buying their followers to up their follow count btw. Being in the right group chat is the new being born in the right city. The same names win the same prizes and thank the same tools, and when you think a new name wins you find that its someone tied to industry. The industry has been here for a bit now. It doesn't mean industry = bad. But the nepotism and gatekeeping came with it. And you'll start noticing it yourself as time goes on why its just more of the same exclusionary old ways that ruined Hollywood. So if you feel like its rigged. That's because it is. They'll tell you blue in the face it isnt. Well then just look at who is sponsoring them. Still time to build your own table. Own your work, your audience, your name. Publish where nobody needs your gratitude. Make the strange film, the ugly film, the one that wins no laurels and fits no challenge. Make the thing they’ll copy next year and pretend they thought of first.

You guys remember when Netflix came out of nowhere, bankrupted Blockbuster and put the fear of God into everyone in the entertainment industry? They did this without Hollywood's permission. They used technology to rethink how people paid for and consumed entertainment. But only for a short time. Netflix wanted the respect of Hollywood. Now imagine Uber begging the Taxi Cab industry to notice them, or for Amazon to desire the respect of brick and mortar retail stores. But this is exactly what happened with Netflix. They wanted the Oscars. They wanted invites to the parties. At some point they didn't want to be seen as disrupters, they desired to be Hollywood's equals. Every new startup that attempts to "Change Hollywood" ultimately becomes them. We see this with conservatives and faith based film all the time. Conservatives want to spend money on using known actors instead of taking risks on discovering and incubating new talent. Faith based film studios like The Wonder Project are dependent on established Hollywood distributors. Angel Studios sold their soul for Animal Farm to get Andy Serkis to play in Young Washington. The Chosen is bound by the requirements of Union labor. But we've forgotten that we do not need Hollywood. Technology has given us a way to connect passionate fans of entertainment directly with passionate filmmakers who are tired of jumping through hoops with major studios who don't care about them. I believe it is possible to build entertainment empires again. I believe that Christians and Conservatives can actually own pop-culture and become the primary producers of it. It's not hard. You just have to resist the temptation of the flashing bulbs on Hollywood's Red Carpet. So if you still believe that disruption doesn't require permission or respect. I'd like to ask you to join me in building something completely unique. We can break the rules, because we get to build the ecosystem. We can own distribution and talent pipelines. I believe this with everything I have.

Not yet, but soon. Let's connect if you wanna collaborate on a fantasy-themed survivor/builder. The Story You, a wood-ranked adventurer, have volunteered to test an experimental runestone designed to tame "The Primal", a force that controls the ebb and flow of "The Wilderlands" - magically rich wildernesses teeming with monsters. The runestones, created by three arch-mages, are designed to suppress the Primal in a limited area. In exchange for your help, you will be granted such land where you place a runestone as your own. While you build, collect, and craft you will also have the opportunity to advance in the guild and go into the various dungeons scattered throughout the wilderland. Do quests, earn money, forge a party, make friends, find romance.
