I made an AI film in 48 hours as part of @runwayml's Gen:48 contest. The film, ABYSS, is now a finalist for the top prize. Check it out if this sort of thing interests you - there's an audience vote being tallied too

Nearly every promising director in Hollywood seems to break out through horror, from Curry Barker with Obsession to Zach Cregger with Barbarian. A few years earlier, filmmakers like Ari Aster and Robert Eggers built their names through horror, and now Kane Parsons has become the youngest director in A24 history with his upcoming Backrooms film.

There are countless more examples, and it’s no coincidence. Horror has become, or maybe has always been, one of the coolest and most liberating forms of art in the entertainment industry. It gives filmmakers the freedom to experiment, take risks, and explore strange or deeply personal ideas without the same level of judgment or restriction.

More than any other genre, horror allows directors to create bold visions on relatively small budgets. It exists slightly outside the noise of massive studio expectations, which means filmmakers can chase originality instead of playing it safe. That freedom is exactly why so many of Hollywood’s most exciting new directors begin there.

So the question is: has horror saved Hollywood by becoming the home for the freshest and weirdest ideas?

Use Gen-4 References within your traditional VFX workflows to create new environments for existing footage.

@DiscussingFilm The pitch was supposed to be our generation’s “A MODEST PROPOSAL,” but everyone in the administration took it at face value

The English language had better brace itself

Learnt today that you can type any nonsense into Google followed by "meaning", and AI will assume you're searching a well-known human phrase and frantically come up with what it thinks it could mean.

From the guy who pardoned the J6 protestors and loudly shouts about the need for free speech, this is farcical. The entire point of protest movements is that they are not always at the convenience of the powers-that-be.

How well did arresting the Civil Rights protesters age?
