“The Miracle” Premieres Now: I gave this film everything I had. Pushed myself creatively and technically, experimented a ton with new tools + models and at times got stuck, started over and wondered if I could pull it off. Excited + nervous to finally share it with you. Enjoy!

This series has about 5 episodes left before I move on. Andy Warhol once said there's a limited number of shots of big naturals one director can shoot. I've reached the limit. That, and I saw Resident Evil and was re-inspired to finish my features.

WARNING: Horror Montage Below In the spirit of October + Halloween approaching, I did some further experimenting honing in a 1970s/1980s horror style using only Local Video Generation Models. If you get scared easily, don't watch. Everyone else, enjoy.

Happy Saturday everyone. Dropping a little October/Halloween horror video in 2 hours generated completely using @MiniMax_AI H3 locally via local llm and @ComfyUI. For now enjoy Steve who was going wild on his lawn last night.

Read this thread, it's the argument about if Local AI is useless or not. I strongly feel its not, but I also think its not apples to apples comparison with the top current frontier model. Different tools for different uses, I use both. But I love local and its getting stronger.
Replying to @mattshumer_
Sure but it’s not apples to apples? That’s silly. That’s like saying have you driven a 911 vs a f1 race car. Doesn’t mean they aren’t both strong. Local you can fine tune, have 0 refusals and run without power or internet with the right setup. Different beast with different expectations.

New Local Video Gen Tests: Warning, if you don't like horror, don't watch. Been experimenting w/ loras to make a good 70s horror style that I can use for a video, lots of errors still here, but sharing some of the raw tests as I'm liking where its heading. Will keep honing.

Check out the behind the scenes tutorial walk through I did with @flickartHQ about my film "The Miracle" that I made as part of Flicks filmmaker residency. I go through sound design, depth mapping, 3d references etc. Hope it helps. piped.video/watch?app=deskto…

Nice. Two of my favorite friendos on 1 podcast. Worth a watch. @DrDreams and @AVARY
New Pod up! Episode 20 with the great and powerful Roger @AVARY ! We chat about Cinema’s old panic at every new tool, design built into the camera, what “slop” even means, @pulptimetv creator rooms, why the audience is the ultimate gatekeeper and a ton more. Full Episode linked in thread below:

This is one of the most touching things I’ve ever read and so inspiring. To know I had an impact on a young child deciding to be creative and have the confidence to make something means a lot to me. What a great example of how this tech can empower anyone to do what they dream of.

If you have been wondering what recipes/models to run locally for your specific hardware the great Mia has updated her site to clearly help you see the latest versions of all her recipes for those models. I highly recommend checking it out and supporting her if you use it since she does so much for the local community.
Overtime, my website will have everything you need to decide which models to run, how to install, and how to easily update. In addition, I'm planning to add various benchmarks and showcases for each model. Anything else you wish to be added?

Throwback Thursday: Found a highlight reel of a few of the shows that I Produced + Directed over the years. Was fun to look back on this. Multiple projects in there, browse around if you get a sec. For a few years I think I was on roughly 100 planes a year for these.

Honest question from those using the models a lot: How is everyone liking GPT 6 Sol vs GPT 5.6 Sol vs GPT 6 Astra? And why? Is it strange that for a lot of use cases for daily driver on frontier side/non local I'm preferring 5.6 Sol?

4/6 @SamJWasserman is an Emmy-winning filmmaker who started building the tools he needed and sharing them on GitHub. Previs, scene blocking, pre-production planning, screenplay breakdown, and more. Many of these tools are designed for AI filmmaking from the ground up. nitter.net/SamJWasserman/status/2…

Congrats Jenny on finishing your feature and getting it out there. You documented this whole process and took huge risks in doing so and I have a lot of respect for you going and doing the thing no matter what that so many say they will do and never risk starting.
It’s here. The first AI feature film to screen in theatres. The first AI feature film by a female filmmaker. Not a collection of shorts. A feature film. Not a studio. One woman with a laptop. Not a paid PR campaign. An organic social movement. I didn’t just make a film. We made history. Together. Because I never for a second thought this was about me. It’s much much bigger than me. The era of waiting for permission is over. I’m living proof. And that makes some people mad. Because there are no gatekeepers where there are no gates. BOSS (2026). Coming soon to a theatre near you.
