Making commercials and films with AI isn’t just exciting — it’s the future.
That said, the hardest part isn’t the technology, it’s finding people you genuinely love working with, and sharpening your storytelling skills. Those two things will never be replaced by “clicking buttons.”
The fundamentals that carry over from traditional filmmaking remain the same:
📕 Strong stories
🤝 Strong relationships
If you treat these as secondary, you’ll eventually feel stuck and frustrated.
But if you keep them front and center — valued, protected, and constantly nurtured — you’ll thrive in this new era.

Kalshi hired me to make the most unhinged NBA Finals commercial possible.
Network TV actually approved this GTA-style madness 🤣
High-dopamine Veo 3 videos will be the ad trend of 2025.
Here’s how I made it in just TWO DAYS 👇🏼 (Prompt included)
Why is Amazon CEO Andy Jassy with Trump in the Middle East taking photos with Saudi royalty? Or is it just his doppelgänger?
Good thing we don't have a reckless group of humans playing hot potato with the most advanced, signicificant, impactful and potentially dangerous technological force ever devised...

The impact of Burning Man (@burningman) on our culture is untold.
The brightest and most creative humans come together to build a 80k person city in the dessert, and have profound interactions that change the course of their lives, and our culture.
I'm so excited to share one such moment with ya'll.
Here are Sam Altman @samaltman and Android Jones @Android_Jones in the rawest conversation about Ai, that's been recorded.
@elonmusk Elon, what do you think about this?
Let's get you in the pyramid this year. @naval, you too!
One of the best talks on AI over the past year was at Burning Man. @burningman
We’re grateful to share this recording with permission from Sam Altman (@sama technologist, CEO of OpenAI & creator of ChatGPT) and Android Jones (@Android_Jones ) talking about “The Future of Art in the Age of AI.”
It’s real, it’s raw, and it could have only happened in Black Rock City.
Afterward Sam texted Android and I, and said that he took notes from this conversation, sent them to the OpenAi team, and that it changed their path forward.
:( @united Delayed from overworked employees? Now only option costs $2k+ more and requires arriving 2-3 days later, and 2+hrs of waiting can't get ahold of an agent. Literally trying to get to grandfather before he passes, who entered hospice today. Pls help.

Provision 6060I of HR 3684 set to pass on Friday will be destructive to entire industry. Hope you support the removal of that amendment or will commit to fighting it once passed.

@SenSherrodBrown @robportman @JoyceBeatty Strongly urge and politely demand you remove provision 6050I of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act set to be voted in on Friday. It will felonize entire industries and destroy the US future technology sector.

Taproot mixing? You're hosed, you become a felon for using Wasabi. Mining pools that aren't doxxed? Felony. NFTs >10k, you go to jail. Programming payments in installments to keep sums <10k, also a felony. *Writing software* even some .js app logic in a wallet to assist, jail.

Am tagging every political voice I can think of that can do something about this ruinous section 6050I expansion.
Please save US Citizens from being criminalized for using crypto assets.

Reading up on IRS provision 6050I inserted into the Infra. bill set to pass in the house on Friday.
In July we made a huge fuss about the broker thing. This is 100x worse. Criminal felonies, includes all individuals and all tokens, all mixing, all custody.
