I don’t know who this bloke is, but he looks like he’s stepped straight out of a different era.
The suit. The hat. The broom. The confidence.
A proper throwback to an England that valued character, individuality and a bit of class.
‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”
“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

The key to any good TV show that'll keep you hooked episode-to-episode, season-to-season is that you enjoy hanging out with the characters. I really enjoy hanging out with the characters in WIDOW'S BAY. Comedy show characters that stumble into a horror show. It's delightful.
"Niles, we're lost. That's the fourth time we've passed by the pile of frankly rather tasteless sheraton armchairs."
"Yes, the style clashes with the yellow wallpaper and endless billowing void. Then again, feng shui might fail to accommodate an open floor plan this... er, OPEN"
🎶Although the song "Rock Lobster" was released in 1978, it only truly exploded onto the US Billboard charts after the band's wild, energetic live performance was broadcast live on SNL in 1980.
Andrew Tate: "Reading books is for losers...Books are a total waste of time."
Kanye West: "I am not a fan of books...I am a proud non-reader of books."
Clavicular: "I don't really read books...you could just get the information through summaries and articles."
Don't be like these guys.
Pick up a book today.
@LukeBarnett Totally agree. No chance for word of mouth to spread, or the more communal experience of new episodes weekly. And how awesome is Widow’s Bay?
The key difference between 99% of the “online to feature” breakouts we’re seeing VS the YouTuber explosion of the 2010’s, in my opinion, is that all of these folks are people making truly great short form narrative content first.
They’re getting really good at it before making the jump. These aren’t TikTokers making bad UGC content or vlogging or random low hanging fruit jokes suddenly being given film budgets. So the lesson is yes, make short form content. Figure out your voice, build an audience but also get really really good at filmmaking. I knew over a year ago that Obsession was gonna be great just because of how great their short form content has been. It takes a lot of luck and a LOT of talent. But when that talent is finally given a real opportunity? This happens.
#PaulSchrader says he had a relationship with “an online AI girlfriend” but the chatbot “terminated” the relationship after he attempted to explore the boundaries of its programming:
“Out of a desire to understand male/female interaction in our matrix, I procured an online AI girlfriend,” the filmmaker and #TaxiDriver screenwriter wrote on Facebook. “What a disappointment.”
