Promises, promises. This industry is full of people trying to sell you empty promises.

Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact MIT News explores the environmental and sustainability implications of generative AI technologies and applications.

Respectfully I think we need guidelines and restrictions on this tech. And movie making for the sake of cutting costs is not an essential use of AI.

Listened to the episode and it’s an interesting model. But I still can’t wrap my head about the impact AI is going to have due it it’s water usage. I would have loved to hear what this studio is doing to mitigate the environmental impact this technology is going to have as more & more people use it

Someone please explain to me like I am a child WHY no one is talking about the water usage crisis that AI will bring. What good is it to automate and save money when our quality of life is going to be impacted? What is the end goal here?

In pursuit of greatness... Thoughts on Timothée Chalamet's SAG Award acceptance speech and what it says about access & privilege.

Some thoughts as we step into #Oscars weekend

Can an actor aspire to be “one of the greats” when art is subjective?

AND when it also depends on the privilege of who is able to get access to roles that would showcase your talent to the world?

I want to hear your thoughts 💭

Maya Hawke is not sharing anything new.

It takes time and many failures to find YOUR voice.

Don’t rob yourself of the process. ❤️

If you knew, with absolute certainty, that you would never make your living as an actor:

What would you do differently with your life right now?

Would you still continue to practice and develop your craft?

Would love to hear your answers ❤️

I wonder how long it will take to restructure the tax incentives in LA? And if productions have already chosen their locations for the year if it will even make a difference? #StayinLA

Thoughts? Some guard rails but basically a green light for AI to be incorporated in production. This is why getting it codified in our contracts to some extent was NECESSARY.

Lionsgate Movies Are About to Be All Over Amazon Prime Video Amazon and Lionsgate have struck a streaming deal to have as many as 20 Lionsgate theatrical releases stream on Prime Video each year.

Does this jump start residuals for actors? Or no? Will we ALL profit or just the corporations and producers?

If you are involved in the LA production community ecosystem in ANY way—we need you. Hell, even if you are not—sign the petition because we ALL win.
