AI&The Creative Professional ep 4.

I was on @france24.com French TV discussing AI and creativity ahead of Cannes Film Festival. If you want to hear a measured view from someone’s who’s actually in the media industry, not an evangelist or a full denier, follow along ☺️

Disappeared off this app for a while. I directed a short film! It’s ready! It’s a dark multi-perspective comedy about a conservative couple who order an escort for the night… but nothing is what it seems. #ThreeTheMovie #Filmmaker

I need to find a neurodivergent community on here. Where are my late-diagnosed moms whose neurospicy ways have crept up on them?
And you can suddenly see the traits in your offspring, with glaring clarity? (Both positive and negative?) I want to navigate this right. If there is a ‘right’.

Writers. Is it normal for outlets to want ALL rights to a story you write for them freelance? In perpetuity? Even if it’s a personal story? And also pay really low? That seems… not sustainable.

It’s not enough to have talent.
It’s not enough to be persistent.
It’s not enough to be resilient.
You need timing and luck.
But
Only persistence and resilience and talent can get you luck at the right time.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

In 2019, with a large, cold three bedroom top floor flat, the heating on full in winter, the bill was never more than £85.
In 2024, with a well insulated, modern two bed flat, running appliances at night, with NO heating on, the bill is easily £90.
I’m just nauseated at the constant ripping off.

My pilot Dead Parents Club is about this moment, and those us who were very young and thought we were heading into one world, when really it became something else entirely.
This is 100% true. It’s why I think so many people misunderstand FIGHT CLUB. That was a movie only makes complete sense if you lived in a world where you were told all the revolutions were won and we were on the road to boring, meaningless prosperity. There’s been nothing like it post 9/11.
It was truly something to be a teenager & early adult between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the World Trade Center. That’s not just a nostalgic idealization of youth; we were in a moment that’s impossible to explain now.

Writers(increasingly shrill): It’s okay if you only write a page a day!
…a sentence a day!!
