It’s a privilege to make a movie. A bigger one to do it with your best friend. Bigger still to have so much help from so many brilliant artists and friends old and new. But the biggest privilege of all is when people you’ve never met give you their time and attention and take a seat. Without that generosity a film cannot exist. Thank you, friends. Thank you strangers. Hope you love it.

At the World Premiere of PROJECT HAIL MARY in London, movie Rocky (James Ortiz) met audiobook Rocky (@TheRayPorter). Such a fun night.

@_jesse_andrews_ Congratulations JESSE!!!!!!!!

my god what a weekend. grateful to everyone who saw it, everyone who worked on it, and all the animals who did neither but are still important. i will try to write more about this later because this whole experience has been pretty cosmic but until then: THANK YOU

really nice to see some of the marketing anim we did is already out in the wild!

Some clarification here: "no green screen" doesn’t mean "no VFX”. There were, in fact, thousands of VFX shots in the film (2018!) Green screen is sometimes used in lieu of building sets or figuring out locations/lighting in advance, which can be noticeable if not done carefully, and is something we didn’t want to do. We built the entire interior of the Hail Mary ship - but within the ship, there were still wire and puppeteer removals and ceiling replacements, etc. When Ryan is outside on the hull of the ship, we shot him in front of a black background for space and a shifting hue background when he was up against the aurora of a planet which allowed for truer interactive light on him than a green screen would. The wide space exteriors and spaceship shots were entirely digital and beautifully done by ILM. Rocky was a seamless blend of puppetry and animation from Framestore. And other great work from many more. It really does take a village and we had the best of the best on our side.

Had the opportunity to attend a screening of Project Hail Mary, and it is E.T.-level great. One of those "laugh...cry...feel things" movies that don't come around often. Congrats, @LucyKitada @philiplord @chrizmillr

Do not sleep on CLONE HIGH

#SpiderVerse friends! if you get to the theater early and you want a fun mission ask someone to check that the theater volume is set at reference (7)! If it sounds a bit quiet, invite them to turn it up a touch to 7.5! If they give you flack... tell them we said it was okay.

If you LOVE animation: GO. If you WANNA LOVE animation: GO. Be there. Be counted.

Clone High is… alive!

“one of the best shows of the year, regardless of medium” - SlashFilm Are you ready for the revival of CLONE HIGH on May 23?

Phil Lord and Chris Miller on the WGA writers strike: “The guild is being reasonable and fair... Pay is declining as business is growing. There is a fair deal to be made. The sooner the studios get serious about making one, the better for all of us." variety.com/lists/amanda-s…
