I figured I'd post a little bit of my Matrix Resurrections work here.
These were done under the production design of Hugh Bateup and Peter Walpole, and the direction of Lana Wachowski.
These are some designs from IO, including Niobe's keep and the Morpheus shrine.
Hope you enjoy!

We raised the full budget for The Screener on social media. We didn't have to cast anyone we didn't love. We got to make it how we wanted, we got final cut, it's the best thing I've ever made, and it premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
I cannot wait for you to see it.

"Have you ever wanted to set one of your coworkers on fire?"
What kind of f*cking ad is this.
Jun 12
Have you ever wanted to set one of your coworkers on fire? Well neither had we, but creator Hahn humorously featured three of his teammates in this short featuring a spoof post-race interview.
Made with Luma Ray3.2. Features includes multi-keyframe control, expressive facial performance, HDR EXR outputs, reframe, and motion transfer.

Made this explosion last year.
I wanted to show how to combine live action footage plus CG elements.
I also made a few new small mist particles setups that I still use frequently.
Anyone interested in a workshop on this?
Im trying to figure out what should i record next.
Cheers,
UB

This sounds like they wanted her to sign away the rights to her likeness and voice to be involved in the reboot. Big time actors have the ability to negotiate AI in their contracts. Everyone else? Well...
Jun 12
Original BLAIR WITCH PROJECT star Heather Donahue/Rei Hance has explained why she's not part of the reboot team.
"I was offered an agreement that, for me personally, raised difficult long-term questions about rights, future technological use of identity and voice, the ability to speak freely, and compensation. Ultimately, it just wasn’t something I felt comfortable signing.
"I genuinely wish everyone involved well. But preserving my autonomy mattered more to me."

There are a number of ways to make a movie that don't require feeding footage of human rights abuses into a copyright infringement machine in order to spit out an approximation of a massacre. avclub.com/dreams-of-violets…

This sucks. Don't let anyone tell you this is "inevitable" and we should all roll over and accept a future of unending slop. We should all fight against a world optimized for bots against the interests of living everyday people.

This is wild—and likely a sign of things to come as we transition to a web that is optimized for bots more than humans. theatlantic.com/technology/2…

The below clip actually comes from a very charming Q&A Zach Cregger gave to a class of high school students. Here is his great follow-up answer to what to do if Elfing isn’t working for you
Jun 10
This is Zach Cregger’s approach to first drafts as a screenwriter. It’s called “elfing”. He’s right. ✍🏼

I get so much of this, I get offers to shill AI constantly and I was once called Twitter's resident AI hater. It's not organic at all, they're throwing money at anyone who will boost them.
AI companies are litterally throwing money at people. I assume they use a bot to find creators that mention AI 😂

Listen, bad people are going to use this tech to exploit others. Who I’m referring to is me. I’m going to do it. So you’re either going to have to start using it and lose your jobs, or lose your jobs. Jobs I could’ve given you, but I’ve decided this will make me more money.
Dwayne Johnson on AI:
“I’ve always been an advocate for embracing big change—after taking a hard look at it. We can either stick our heads in the sand and be afraid, or we can say, ‘Okay, we’re here. Let’s see. Let’s explore.’"

Weird, I don't remember about anything in the ToS about AI training to create for-profit product when I signed up for these platforms 15-20 years ago.
Jun 11
Hey guys, TikTok, Meta, Spotify, and even X all do this as well. YouTube isn't unique in this.
It's not theft. You agreed to it when you signed up on their platform.
Should've had Ai comb through those TOS for you 🤷♂️

The way I learned to do my dishes was by pretending I’d walked into the kitchen of a friend who was having a hard time. Never been great at replicating this as a writer, but it is true that the key to daunting work is often flat out disassociation.
