when people talk about "hollywood" - this is what it actually means. world class craftspeople who bring decades worth of experience and talent to a singular set of images, sets, performances, and stories. most people never get to work with people at this caliber.

@Diesol "compelling" is the key word!

I’ll say it once again. Most people creating compelling films with AI tools were artists, storytellers and filmmakers well before. But if it makes you feel better, go off.

@LukeBarnett i know who you're specifically referencing and what's additionally interesting is mapping the venn diagram overlap between ex-church video guys who couldn't cut it in the "real world" (because they didn't realize they were being artificially propped up) and the aye eye film bros

It’s hilarious to me how often I see a “this may be the best AI short yet” tweet and it’s just someone obviously combining two things in a prompt. “Mandalorian meets Rick and Morty”, “Fallout meets 28 Days Later”, etc. it’s all just so boring.

noticing a very marked move towards "this is my opinion and it is the right one you dumbasses" tonality, especially in the film adjacent creator space. like - nothing is a question, it's always an ANSWER. not judging, just observing... *shoulder shrug*

anyone at DIFF this weekend? i'm screening my debut feature, STAGES (for the second time) after a lovely SXSW premiere. If you are in Dallas, would love to see you tomorrow! a film about trying to figure out how to make a life in music. diffdallas2026.eventive.org/schedule/stage…

to top it all off, STAGES won the "Best of Texas" award. A beautiful nod from the hometown before we take this baby out into the wider world. Next stop, DIFF, then we're off to the races. Thank you SXSW and my wonderful cast and crew. Sharing a film is scary, but worthwhile work

Well, SXSW was a hell of a week. 5 screenings, 7 near sleepless nights, and an emotional rollercoaster that I won't soon forget. So many friends and colleagues who showed up. So many layers. Leslie Grace is a movie star. David Ramirez is the most vulnerable artist I know.

@tonytost went to a DGA Q&A with Denis for Dune2 and the moderator opined, "how does it feel to know that you made a masterpiece?" Denis demurred and spoke about how all he sees are the flaws, the missed takes, the adjustments he should have made. His response, "I'll do better next time"

DUNE: PART TWO (2024). Just sensational filmmaking and world-building. In a world a bit over-saturated with wink-wink nudge-nudge blockbusters, it's a thrill to have this popcorn story in the hands of a modern day David Lean.

@imPatrickT @EATCR0W this part. the analysis is for later, for *why* a thing feels the way it feels. so much of the *making* part is "this feels right, this feels wrong" or "i like that" over and over again until you discover later the "why" of it all.

patrick.@imPatrickT·7 Mar

I chatted with Jay offline shortly after this chat too - and many of the decisions like this were done on the fly without discussion. "yeah that could be cool" type energy - we can look back now and analyze it to understand why it worked, but so much of the magic of great work like this is done at a sub conscious level by just truly brilliant people.

i also wanna share this clip of matt and jared talking about color tones!

one of my absolute favorite things about ntbts is the colors. the use of orange/brown/yellow makes the show feel so warm and lived in

Less than a week until STAGES, my debut feature, premieres at SXSW. I've spent so many years working that festival on the music side, cam op'ing, DP'ing, and eventually directing live performance sessions. I'm incredibly excited to share this film there. schedule.sxsw.com/films/2253651

Sentimental Value was my favorite film of the year. Like reading a novel. So dense, so complex, yet so light on its feet. A truly masterful piece of filmmaking.

this. filmmaking is collision with things outside of your control. the end.

Tony Tost@tonytost

I have such a hard time imagining ever being infatuated with A.I. as a writer, filmmaker, or viewer. Most of the magic is the alchemy that occurs when an authorial vision mingles with the needs & contingencies of other people, of material reality, of the medium, & of time itself.

I am convinced that filmmakers like different movies than non-filmakers and they're not the films you're thinking of. Scratch deep enough and you'll get an answer like Dreamscape or Austin Powers Goldmember (one of my top ten).

@ScottJeschke worked on a film called First Man a while back, and this makes me feel similarly - great work, especially as a solo creator 🚀

Made in my garage. No AI. No crew. 1 min of your time. #movies #interstellar

Scott Jeschke@ScottJeschke

REENTRY| Plunging through reentry, a lone astronaut clings to fragments of another life. This short was made in my garage with no budget, no crew, and NO AI. I retaught myself basic VFX compositing in After Effects, and put many hours into making this a fully-human-made piece that I could be proud of. Special thanks to my wife and children for putting up with the process and making a few guest appearances. I hope it connects for you! If it does, a share or a repost would mean the world :) Many thanks! - Scott #FilmTwitter #shortfilm #astronaut

Just saw FRANKENSTEIN on 35mm and LOVED it. This movie is big, bold, and brutal! I will forever be in awe of how @RealGDT finds beauty in the darkest corners, and I can’t get over how good the film print looked. See it in a theater if you can. It rules.
