How an Outsider Won Runway's Top AI Prize
The premiere episode of the AIography Podcast is up. I sat down with Robert Gaudette. He's a 54-year-old nonprofit worker from Toronto. He never went to film school. And he just won the top prize at Runway's AI Grand Prix with his film "A Face Only a Mother Could Love." Here's what got me. The film has real heart. It moves people. That's the one thing everyone says AI can't do, and Robert did it anyway. We talked through how he actually built it, start to finish. His workflow. The "subtext block" he puts in his prompts. How he pushed past the imposter feeling that hits all of us. And why he still believes story comes first, even now. If you've been stuck at "where do I even begin," this is the one to watch. Robert started exactly where you are. Link to Interview Link to Robert's film "A Face Only A Mother Could Love." Watch it, then drop one thing that surprised you in the comments.

Welcome to AIography 👋 Read This First 🚨
Before you jump in, there’s one important thing to understand about this community. AIography exists to explore how AI is reshaping filmmaking, storytelling, and creative workflows from script to screen. This is a place for learning, sharing experiments, asking smart questions, and helping each other navigate a rapidly changing creative landscape. To help keep the signal high and reduce spam, posting is unlocked once you reach Level 2. You’ll get there quickly by engaging in discussions, reacting to posts, and participating thoughtfully. What this community is NOT: - A place to pitch “make money” schemes - A place to drop affiliate links, funnels, or cold offers - A place to self-promote unrelated products or services If your first instinct after joining is to sell something, this is not the right room for you. What is encouraged: - Thoughtful discussion around AI tools and workflows - Sharing work in context (what you tried, what worked, what didn’t) - Helping others learn and think more clearly about AI and creativity - Genuine collaboration and curiosity Promotion may be allowed later and in the right context, but it is never the starting point here. Posts or comments that ignore this will be removed. Repeated behavior will result in removal from the community — no drama, no warnings loop. We’re here to build understanding and craft, not noise. If that sounds like your mindset, you’re in exactly the right place. If not, it’s better to know that now. — Larry

🚀 Founding Members Is Now Open — $29/Month, Locked In For Life
I just posted something I've been working on for a while, a video that explains exactly what AIography is, where it's going, and why I built it. The short version: I've spent 40 years editing at Warner Brothers, Sony, Disney, HBO, and Netflix. I was there when Avid replaced film. I consulted on Final Cut Pro before it had a name. Every time a transformative technology hit, I watched the same thing happen: everyone focused on the shiny new thing and forgot about the craft. It's happening again with AI. And almost nobody is talking about story. That's what this community is about. 🎬 Watch the video below. If what I'm saying resonates, I'm now offering a Founding Member tier for $29/month, or pay annually and get two months free. Locked in for life. Full access to everything I'm building: courses, live workshops, Lumarka early access, and direct access to me. This window won't stay open forever. Head to the Classroom and hit the Founding Member upgrade. Then come back here and introduce yourself. I want to know who's in the room.

The Week AI Stopped Being a Question
Something quietly tipped over this week, and today's newsletter is all about it. For a couple of years now, the AI-in-film conversation has mostly been an argument. Is it real? Is it cheating? Is it going to stick? This week the argument got a tiebreaker, and it came from about the most credible voice there is. George Lucas said AI is the future of the medium. His actual words: "Artificial intelligence means it's much easier for us to make movies," and "There's nothing you can do about it. That's progress; it's the future." That's the person who built the modern blockbuster telling you the door is open. And it's not just talk from the sidelines. The same week, the biggest streamer on earth put a number on it. In its quarterly letter to shareholders, Netflix said creative partners used generative AI across roughly 300 titles this year, mostly in post-production. Not a demo. Not a pilot program. Three hundred titles, on the record, to Wall Street. Put those two together and the shape of the week is hard to miss. The most famous names and the biggest money landed on the same side, out loud, at the same time. In today's full newsletter, I walk through what that actually means for working creators, plus the honest other half: a director who shipped a 135-minute AI feature almost by himself, Christopher Nolan calling the whole thing a trap from the other side of the same week, and a couple of new tools you can actually put to work. It's a five-minute read, and it's built to help you decide what to use and what to keep your hands on. Read the whole thing here: https://aiography.beehiiv.com/p/george-lucas-says-ai-is-the-future-of-movies Here's the thing I keep landing on. When a tool goes from "maybe" to "here to stay," the interesting question stops being whether you use it. It becomes what you refuse to hand over. The tools are settling. Your judgment is the part that still can't be automated, and this week made that clearer, not less.
