The premiere episode of the AIography Podcast is up. I sat down with Robert Gaudette. He's a 54-year-old nonprofit worker from Toronto. He never went to film school. And he just won the top prize at Runway's AI Grand Prix with his film "A Face Only a Mother Could Love." Here's what got me. The film has real heart. It moves people. That's the one thing everyone says AI can't do, and Robert did it anyway. We talked through how he actually built it, start to finish. His workflow. The "subtext block" he puts in his prompts. How he pushed past the imposter feeling that hits all of us. And why he still believes story comes first, even now. If you've been stuck at "where do I even begin," this is the one to watch. Robert started exactly where you are. Link to Interview Link to Robert's film "A Face Only A Mother Could Love." Watch it, then drop one thing that surprised you in the comments.

I just spent two days at Amazon/MGM Studios in Culver City at AI on the Lot, the biggest AI filmmaking conference in the world, and I wrote up everything for this week's newsletter. It's a long one, on purpose. Paul Schrader got up and explained how he's writing with ChatGPT now. (Spielberg, in the same week, said there's no substitute for the soul about AI). Studios that wouldn't say "AI" out loud two years ago were on the main stage with their names on the work. And the films aren't hypothetical anymore; they're shipping, and a few are selling. I covered every session I could get to and owned up to the ones I couldn't, since I still can't be in two places at once. Read the full thing here. If you read it, I'd love your take below. What surprised you? What are you going to try?

I’d love to hear from everyone here. As this group continues to grow, I want to make sure we’re building something that is actually useful, practical, and worth your time. So here’s the question: What would you most like to get out of this community? I want your top 3. But Skool only lets you vote once. So please add a comment with your 2nd & 3rd choices. If something's missing, tell me. This community is yours as much as it's mine. I'd rather build what you'll actually use than guess. 😉 Thanks, Larry

Six new deep dives just dropped in the Founding Members tier over the past two weeks. If you blinked, you missed a small library. Here's the what's waiting for you: 📌 Open Source AI Video Models: The Real Comparison Wan, HunyuanVideo, CogVideoX, LTX. Who actually wins when you stop reading press releases and start rendering. 📌 AI Script Coverage: What Hollywood Is Actually Doing (and What It Gets Wrong) Studios are already using AI to read scripts. The results are... instructive. 📌 Claude Inside DaVinci Resolve: An AI Agent in Your NLE Someone connected Claude directly to Resolve's scripting API. It talks to your live timeline. I have thoughts. (Made a little YT Short about this one) 📌 The WGA's AI Training Ban: What It Actually Means For Your Workflow Not what the headlines say. I read the deal so you don't have to. 📌 Morphic Workflows: What "Encode Once, Run a Hundred Times" Actually Looks Like A new tool that might change how you think about rendering pipelines. Might. 📌 OpenMontage: Turn Your AI Coding Assistant Into a Video Production Studio The open source project that turns Claude Code into an editing workflow. Full breakdown. That's what Founding Members get. Real workflows, real tools, no hype. And we're only starting to get rolling. Seriously, don't miss out on this: $29/month, locked for life — but only a few spots left. After that, it goes to $49/month or $490/year. Just saying.
