Happy #FairUse week!
Authors Alliance@auths_alliance
Happy Fair Use Week, everyone! We love fair use. We use it every day, and you probably do, too. So as a part of the Fair Use week celebrations, we are extending our series on the 50th Anniversary of the Copyright Act of 1976 to include a week of posts on Section 107 of Title 17, our fair use statute. authorsalliance.org/2026/02/23/fai…

Ava DuVernay self-distributed her first feature. No agents. No managers. No studio deals.
She had a film and a plan. Used her own 50k.
Had a plan to do a 15 screen release on her own.
Keep making noise until people can't help but listen.

Stellen Skarsgard on the the growing presence of AI in the movie industry:
"For thousands of years, people have been very much interested in people. Describing people is what theater does, what film does — and what we do best. In film — even better than in television — you can describe all the unspoken words, all the unspoken facets of a relationship that are almost impossible to explain but are still there. We will always be curious about other people. That curiosity will never leave us."
What form it takes, how it will be produced — maybe some people will be happy enough with what AI can produce, and some will not. But I think the main problem for the moving image industry today is the concentration of capital. And the concentration of capital is the problem for every industry, for humanity. AI is nothing without the men behind it. AI is owned by the tech barons standing right behind power."

Ok #LadyGaga
Carlos Aguilar@Carlos_Film
Earlier this week I moderated a Q&A with the filmmakers behind MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN and Pavel Talankin, co-director/subject, said he hopes Lady Gaga learns that he played her version of the U.S. national anthem to protest the propaganda in the Russian school he worked at.

Yes!!! Long live the em dash; colon - & semi-colon. #writing
Justine Castellon@justcastellon
There’s this never-ending debate about whether em dashes, semicolons, and colons have become signs of AI writing. As a result, many of us writers have stopped using them—swapping them for commas or reshaping sharp, effective sentences into something blander—to avoid suspicion. But AI was trained on the best of us. On millions of published works by real authors. It learned from our voices, our rhythms, our punctuation. And now we’re acting as if those marks somehow belong to machines. They don’t. Those tools were ours long before AI existed. Our teachers taught us how and when to use them, years before anyone imagined generative AI. So let’s take them back. Let’s use the full range of language with confidence. The em dash, the semicolon, the colon—they’re not signals of artificiality. They’re signs of craft. #WritingCommunity #writerslife

I’m begging you, with tears in my eyes.
Please stop using AI to write your tweets.
We see the AI cadence. It’s not fooling anyone.
Say it with me: AI is for research, not for becoming your entire personality.
