Filmmaker, artist, writer. Creator of Loab. Words in @vice, (o)gled, Critical AI

🧵: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre.

it’s a rare treat to find a filmmaker that immediately becomes one your cinematic heroes. even rarer, do you get to talk them.

i had the immense honor of speaking with Želimir Žilnik https://t.co/7EPT7drOSO

I collaborated with a bunch of extremely talented writers and artists on a zine. It's called EMERGENCY! My essay is about AI-generated video as imperialist violence. You can buy the whole thing here.

Camera test :)

[steph maj swanson @supercomposite]

Why would I deprive myself or anyone else of directing the film—the artistic choices involved and the transformative experience of collaborating with other people to realize it, improve it, and bring new meanings into it? Why would I as a screenwriter deprive my audience of a film executed from start to finish with intention? What’s the point?

[steph maj swanson @supercomposite]

@TwoSk8boards @jetskitosway2 Disagree! The movie holds up & the honest confessional remains rare.

[steph maj swanson @supercomposite]

@jetskitosway2 @LingoUnbound The producers of Secretary failed to enforce the quota of sex scenes every 10 minutes. The filmmaker failed to include scenes of eye mutilation, etc. No wonder it is pure slop. You must learn the rules before you break them.

just watched animal farm and it had 2 qr codes asking what you thought of the movie and if you voted that it sucked it takes you to a website and tells you you’re wrong
