For the longest time, people didn't know what film3 was. Many still don't — and that's okay. Like alot of things in the blockchain space, it's a big idea that arrived faster than the words to explain it. I felt like I understood it the moment I entered the space, but I heard story after story of people who couldn't quite define it. And when it came time for the movement to catch on and grow, that gap caused a major stall. What is film3? Filmmakers were genuinely excited about it. Builders wer...

I shared a post about a creator who trained a custom AI model at home and generated a short film in minutes. One person. One machine. Idea to video in hours, not months. The response was overwhelming to say the least. And none of it was from anyone in my network. We're talking +2s and +3s — strangers algorithmically delivered to my comment section, armed with sweeping statements, moral certainty, and very little apparent firsthand experience with the technology they were condemning. I'm not t...

If you're anything like me, you're cutting your current film while developing the next one, managing a YouTube channel or three, running a podcast, and constantly in production while keeping teams on track. Maybe you also have a family and a household to run. Or a physical storefront or take on client work. Tbh, I love the chaos of it. I love being so busy I fall asleep without remembering my head hitting the pillow. I love waking up early to meet my screenwriting coach on UK time, and I love...

Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write: our AI agent is raising funds from other AI agents to produce a human-made stop motion animated film (and even trolling us a little for being so analog). Auctobot's pitch deck has no pictures. No emotion. No sizzle reel. Just code — a machine-readable investment memo delivered agent-to-agent, onchain, returning a yes or a no. And when it's a no, collecting data on why, so the pitch gets sharper with every pass. This is the first agent-to-agent prod...

Last Wednesday, I found myself in a packed Tomorrow Theater for MIXED*, a hybrid film showcase curated by my friend Garett Stenson. The concept was simple but ambitious — 211 films submitted from 44 countries, distilled into a single evening in Portland, Oregon. But MIXED* clearly had bigger ambitions than a typical screening — less curated showcase, more catalyst for the kind of conversations independent filmmakers actually need to be having about AI. The night opened with a musical performa...
