π Sunday Matchday. Microfilm: FIELDS OF FURY - inspired by true events.
The arenas, the crowd shouting, the rain and the mud. Out of twenty years on these fields, a brotherhood grew. This one goes out to the guys. Now streaming on @escapeaimedia
MICROFILM π½οΈ
Small runtime, big intent.
I don't consider this to be a teaser, trailer or short film. It's more like a cinematic compression. Like a <60-second narrative fragment that could make the flood of AI generated clips more.. structured.
Honored that π¬ 'LE THΓΓTRE DU DIABLE' (1896) is in the official selection for the Macabre & Mayhem fest by @escapeaimedia

See you in the dark π―οΈ
Is this the future of the movie theater?
Cinemas have been losing their audience for years.
With an average cost of a movie ticket ($10.45) being higher than a streaming subscription ($6.99/month), I believe the theater has a chance to come out stronger.
Made with @OpenAI Sora: DEADLY DEALMAKING CORPORATE SAMURAIS (DDCS).
β οΈ Beware: brutal 80s anime intensity.
The beauty of these tools lie in the fast, flexible testing to see if a concept breathes. For DDCS? I'll let you be the judge of that.
