The Film3™ OG and The Next Wave of Cinema episodes

  • Taryn O'Neill // Worldbuilding, AI & Protopia

    In this episode of Film3 OG, Jordan sits down with filmmaker, futurist, writer, and creative technologist Taryn O’Neill for a deep conversation about storytelling, AI, science, world-building, and our responsibility to imagine better futures.

    They explore Taryn’s idea of protopia — futures made incrementally better through human agency — and why storytelling can help us process rapid technological and cultural change. For Taryn, story is infrastructure: a way humans have always made sense of uncertainty, crisis, possibility, and transformation.
    They also talk about the democratization of filmmaking, AI as a creative resource rather than an end in itself, lived experience, non-human intelligence, climate storytelling, and why creators must participate in shaping the systems that will define the next era.

    At its heart, this is a conversation about agency: the future is not something we simply wait for. It is something we imagine, build, question, and help shape.

  • Afro Futcha // On Creativity, Music, and Being Seen

    In this episode of Film3 OG, Jordan sits down with British AI artist, filmmaker, music producer, and DJ Diane Laidlaw, known as Afro Futcha, for an inspiring and deeply personal conversation about creativity, representation, music, grief, and the power of finally allowing yourself to be seen.

    Diane shares how discovering Midjourney during a difficult period in her life helped reconnect her with imagination, purpose, and a creative identity she had been suppressing for years. What began as experimentation with images became filmmaking, music videos, international recognition, and an entirely new chapter in her life and career.

    They talk about Diane’s journey from web design and music production into AI filmmaking; the personal loss behind her award-winning video What Do I Know; and the extraordinary year that followed, including winning Project Odyssey, speaking at TEDAI in Vienna, appearing on the BBC, and taking her work to audiences around the world.

    At the heart of the conversation is the importance of representation: women seeing women create, Black artists reclaiming and telling their own stories, and creators from historically excluded communities gaining access to tools that allow them to make visible what has always existed inside their imaginations.

    Diane also reflects on the difference between being a creator and becoming a content machine, why she protects her artistic freedom from the demands of social media, and how AI has allowed her to transform lived experience, emotion, memory, philosophy, and cultural heritage into work that makes people feel.

    The conversation moves through music, analog recording, Suno, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Kling, Seedance, PixVerse, creative workflows, and the impossibility of mastering tools that change almost every week. Diane’s advice to emerging artists is simple and powerful: take off the pressure, begin small, and play.

    This is a conversation about creative rebirth. About the courage to put your work into the world. About reaching back to help others see what may also be possible for them.

    And above all, it asks: How can AI help us manifest the stories, sounds, dreams, and ideas that have lived inside us all along?

    If you care about the future of cinema, music, representation, human imagination, and the evolving relationship between artist and machine, I think you’ll find a great deal in this one.

    TURHAN TROY CAYLAKHi, I'm Turhan, but most know me as "Troy" Caylak, an actor, writer, and Web3 enthusiast with a passion for storytelling and building communities. You might recognize me from HBO's Barry, where I had the chance to work alongside a talented cast and earn two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. My craft was honed at the Shakespeare Theatre and NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where I developed my deep love for acting and writing.In 2015, I ventured into Bitcoin, and by 2020, I was fully immersed in Web3, trading crypto and collecting art. By 2021, I became a Web3 content creator, combining my creative background with blockchain innovation.My Web3 journey includes contributing to projects like the ⁠Gutter Cat Gang⁠, helping create its lore and comic book with ⁠Dave Kebo⁠ and managing collaborations for two years. I co-own the first sub-8k anime-inspired Ordinal collection, Ordinauts, alongside Dave, ⁠Ordlord⁠, and ⁠Mazeysports⁠. I'm also proud to own ⁠Retordinals⁠, the only collection in Bitcoin history mined on the 840,000th halving block, and serve as the story advisor for the Bitcoin collection ⁠Pizza Ninjas⁠.Anchored in Venice Beach's vibrant ⁠irl_alpha⁠ scene, I'm passionate about connecting creators, developers, and innovators while shaping the evolving Web3 culture. Let's build together.⁠Twitter⁠

    DAVE KEBODave Kebo is a storyteller, filmmaker, and creative director based in Los Angeles. Dave started his career as a screenwriter and film director, eventually finding his way to crypto and NFTs. The idea of owning the underlying IP of the crypto asset you hold was game-changing, and in 2021 he started building original content for Web3 projects on Ethereum (Gutter Cat Gang), and later on Bitcoin (Pizza Ninjas). Dave is the founder of ⁠Ordinauts⁠, the first anime collection inscribed on Bitcoin, and is currently building out the story universe for the series.⁠Twitter⁠
