I just finished watching a number of truly excellent short AI films in the @runwayml AI film festival, and I am honestly blown away by the level of quality. If this crop of creative filmmakers is any barometer of where things are going, buckle up because cinema is leaping ahead.

@AVARY @runwayml Have you talked to John Gaeta at all?

@AVARY @runwayml Isn’t all of this — AI, CGI — just animation in the end?

@AVARY @runwayml Cinema is fucked

@AVARY @pmarca @runwayml It’s cool, but I feel like the Hollywood plus streaming does function as a bar to reduce the slop. We might get a lot of slop and have to sift through more

@AVARY @runwayml I'm pretty excited. Got a number of projects and scripts written as well as some books but I never bothered to try to get an agent or try to shop them to Hollywood because I assumed it would be a brick wall. But now, I'm literally going to make them myself. Yay!

@AVARY @runwayml quality leap is real. AI is the lens but not the filmmaker. Just don't bury the credits.

@AVARY @runwayml And I’m just getting warmed up no less. This is like pre-season warm up game right now. 😂 Just wait until I hit game 7.

@AVARY @runwayml Missed the deadline with this one. But you should give it 11min of your time. If it sucks you can open hand slap me in person one day. No joke. Man of my word. youtu.be/SHzuiVwLHQM?si…

It's incredible what a good storyteller can create today, and it'll only get better. I've always dreamt of telling stories through film, and it finally feels possible. Didn't submit this to any festivals, but I'm hoping to do so with some of the next stories I have in mind: x.com/i/status/20517…

@AVARY @runwayml Rules of Attraction for me was one of those movies you watched when you were young and thought, "Whatever job lets me make things like this, I want to do that."

@AVARY @runwayml Dude I’m friggin psyched to see paradise lost. That is the ultimate use case - make things Hollywood would never…kinda like a repo man / Howard the duck / Lebowski mashup…

@AVARY @runwayml This was my attempt. Can you tell the moment it was 4 am the morning of and I had to decide that I needed to just finish it? It’s pretty clear.

@AVARY @runwayml G-ai-y create a gay macramé owl. prompt: gay prompt: gay gay prompt: gay gay gay duration: gay texture: gay motion: very gay length: short gay End program

@AVARY @runwayml Excited to have you as a judge! And if anyone wants to see them in the big screen we are hosting two major shows in NYC and LA in June. Get tickets here: aiff.com

@AVARY @runwayml Pass on AI film making …film making is about community and getting together and creating not one person typing prompts into a computer.

@AVARY @runwayml How would you know what it looked like if cinema was “leaping ahead”?

@AVARY @runwayml I'm hoping to make an AI feature-length film by this time next year (just need to raise some cash for it and hire a small team to do it right).

@AVARY @runwayml Roger, check this out:

@AVARY @Diesol @runwayml It's very exciting. I don't think people really understand what's possible currently. I'm staggered.

@AVARY @runwayml It’s data processing of films that have been stolen and ingested. It’s not filmmaking.

@AVARY @runwayml Can't wait for the condescending hollyweird to disappear. No more actresses telling us to hang our clothes out to dry while she uses her dryer.

@AVARY @runwayml Can't wait to see these myself.

@AVARY @runwayml Ai meu deus, so nabos.

@AVARY @pmarca @runwayml Watched the Runway AI Film Festival and genuinely stunned. AI cinema already feels creatively explosive, emotionally sharp, and visually cinematic. If this trajectory continues, filmmaking is entering an entirely new era.

@AVARY @runwayml How do we see them?

@AVARY @runwayml Yeah but did they tremble tho? youtube.com/shorts/O1aCIy7…

@AVARY @runwayml I can't wait.

@AVARY @runwayml The places we’ll go 🚀 🎥

@AVARY Ai reminded me of a guy who took the easy way with a computer to do all his homework.

@AVARY @runwayml Which was your favorite?
