In this podcast episode I discuss why I want to leave the AI film industry and my reasons for staying. My process behind creating Part 1 of my upcoming feature film “G.O.A.T.: Muhammad Ali’s Blueprint to Greatness." Why I decided to direct my first ever short film for UAI ARTISTS that was written by a screenwriter other than myself. And what I learned hosting “The Art of the AI Feature Film Livestream ‘Roundtable’ Event.” Hopefully you can glean a thing or two from my experiences because we’re all in this together! Happy listening!

In this podcast episode I take a call from fellow AI filmmaker, (and buddy), Matt, to discuss my AI filmmaking experience when making the AI short film tribute “1984: George Orwell’s Last Man.” I also answer some questions from audience members, many of whom also work in AI film, about “1984,” my AI filmmaking process, and my life in general. Hopefully, you’ll pick up a nugget or two of helpful information from this “behind the scenes” conversation. Happy listening!

Thinking of making AI films? Or maybe you’ve already started AI filmmaking, and are simply interested in hearing what the experience is like for others… Orrrr… Maybe you’re a fan of T.M. Caufield’s AI films and want more insight into her approach to the new art form. Well, if you fit any of those categories you’ve come to the right place.

In this “holiday special” podcast episode, I discuss some of my filmmaking backstory that brought me to AI film, what my first year as a student making AI videos has been like, and my experiences doing everything from adaptations of my books to biopics featuring icons like Maya Angelou, John McAfee, and Bruce Lee.

Freshman year in ANYTHING isn’t easy, and the steep learning curve in AI filmmaking and the world around it makes it no different. So, if you can use some tips on how to navigate these uncharted waters, listen until the end.  There, you’ll find insights on things I did to made sure the ride wasn’t just bumpy, but fun as well. Cheers to this fantastic new art form, cheers to you, and happy holidays!

When it comes to great advice, most people know that you’ll get some of the best relationship advice from Maya Angelou. And while we’re all familiar with her advice to Oprah, “When people show you who they are, believe them,” we often leave out the most important advice she includes with that. So, in this podcast episode I not only discuss, in depth, what is believed to be the best relationship advice Maya Angelou has ever given on the topic; but I also discuss how it pairs well with the best advice Dr. Angelou, HERSELF, believes she has ever given. So, tune in to move on from bad relationships, and get the advice you need to have a great relationship today!

We’ve often heard the saying, “Honesty is the best policy,” but IS honesty ALWAYS the best policy? Are there times when it’s best to lie, fudge the truth, withhold information, or simply ghost? Well, if you’re trying to decide if it’s a good idea to tell the truth in a current situation you’re dealing with, tune in to this podcast episode where I recount a story involving a hooker, a soldier, and a scandalous wardrobe where I was confronted with the questions of when, why, and how to tell the truth.
