Professional story analyst for one of the majors—and no, I'm not gonna tell you which one; I wanna keep my job, thank you very much.
I'm not sure when we decided it was okay to say "ex cetera" but as an unofficial officer of the Grammar Police I would like to make a citizen's arrest

Can’t handle the rollercoaster of the stock market’s ups and downs? Invest in independent film! Your whole investment vanishes immediately, then 3-5 years later, when you’ve given up entirely, a small percentage of it comes back (hopefully) AND you’ve helped put a movie out in the world (hopefully).

Asked ChatGPT to write me a screenplay in the style of David Mamet and this is what it came back with: "You fool — your fucken’ sissy film — you squat to pee. You old woman . . .all of my life I’ve been eating your shit and taking your leavings. Fuck you." It has an agent now

Someone has to explain to me why L.A. can’t offer the same tax incentives as Atlanta and New Orleans – and I hear some of those productions are moving to Bulgaria and elsewhere. Local shoots are at an all-time low barring COVID and the strikes...

If AI is trained on things that have already been written, does that mean the best it can do is write something average or mediocre? Is it capable of writing anything novel or original even if you tell it to “write something novel or original”?

Last night during the SEVERANCE finale I was wondering to myself: how is Apple making money on all these high-production value shows without commercials and a lower subscription cost than all the other streaming platforms?Answer: they aren't
Apple Is Losing Over $1 Billion per Year on Streaming Service, Has 45 Million Apple TV+ Subscribers (Report)
Apple TV+ is reportedly losing more than $1 billion per year as the company is spending $4.5 billion on content annually.

Who’s willing to admit they like watching movies at home more than going to the theater? I’m not talking about costs or the hassle of leaving the house. As a film snob I know you’re not supposed to say that, but I must confess something shameful to you right now: I watched the first Dune on an iPad

Let’s talk about AI. People are freaking the fuck out all over the industry about this and I don’t blame them.

Just finished PARADISE and loved every minute of it. Spoilers ahead. Essentially the same premise as SILO: post-apocalypse survivors living in a giant underground bunker. Yet they’re two very different shows.
