No creator management firms would hire me without a roster, so I'm building my own. Introducing Best Regards Media, a management and production company that seeks to build "the A24 of creators" by representing the best storytellers on social media. Let's gooo

I miss HyperCard. That's how old I am.

This is Zach Cregger’s approach to first drafts as a screenwriter. It’s called “elfing”. He’s right. ✍🏼

Everyone searching for new filmmakers on Youtube when they should be looking for them on Tik Tok. If you really wanna jump the trend, Onlyfans.

Steven Spielberg held the fertility idol while talking to me about shooting RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Dare to dream, kids.

You have a dream that feels like a bridge too far. A script. A short film concept. Your first feature film. But the time always seems to go to someone else's dream, and at the end, you're mentally exhausted. Give yourself 45 mins to an hour every morning before your day job and work on that dream. Every day will feel like a victory. Trust me.

Who am I seeing at @kit's Craft Commerce next week?

I saw it. Now you have to see it. His name is Samuel. And he…is a king.

Lots of credit grabs around Hollywood for the breakout success of BACKROOMS, but at the very beginning, one lowly assistant clicked on a Reddit link and saw a potential movie. The full backstory ⬇️⬇️ puck.news/the-27-year-old-as…

i went to the restaurant from that one scene in obsession and everyone under 25 that came in took turns sitting in the booth

Or you could also say that a movie starring Chiwetel Ejiofor opened to $82M in its opening weekend.

This is the most significant weekend in the film industry in over 30 years. Emerging generational talent has forever shifted the paradigm. There is no turning back, there are no rules, chaos reigns. It is glorious.

Here's cinematographer Jeremy Cox and Kane Parsons explaining how they shot the live action found footage sequences in BACKROOMS.

Shows are the next shape of internet media. I just wrapped Press Publish LA produced by @ColinandSamir. It felt like the whole program was built for the exact bet I've been making with our @enjoyersmedia studio. Almost nobody was talking about "content". They were talking about shows. Movies. Miniseries and field productions. Real programming made by internet-native creators who understand audience, distribution, and story at the same time. Hollywood is now knocking on creator doors asking to be taken seriously: - @markiplier talked about what it took to make Iron Lung. - Curry Barker went from short sketches to directing a blockbuster theatrical horror film that (Obsession) that is the only film in history to have a second breakout weekend of its size. - @Kanepixels7 is taking Backrooms from YouTube to A24 as their youngest director in his debut. - @david_perell is investing into a 6-part mini-series called The Modern World, going on-location to tell human stories about architecture and engineering. - @johnnywharris is launching his mini-series "The Human Element" this fall, another human-stories focused piece. - @MichelleKhare is turning impossible physical challenges into actual episodic productions. Michelle talked about stripping her crew down to five people for the 7 marathon series consisting of: - 2 camera - 1 sound - 1 producer - Her That is the exact footprint I take on location my docuseries This is Taste. I've never felt this early and validated: - Creator-made shows are moving upstream. - Brands are learning that partnership is not the same thing as a campaign. - Hollywood is no longer ignoring internet-native creators. - Creators who want to make real media need to learn how to market the work, not just make it. That last one is the lesson we're pouring our attention towards. This Is Taste does not have a production quality problem. I'm hearing feedback, by the hundreds, that it's some of the best media our viewers have consumed in recent memory. We're in talks with real partners to make this a long term thing. But after this event, it is extremely clear to our team: keep going. We are punching above well above our weight. The future is not clip farming or marketing fast food. It is not two talking heads on screen. It's creator-led programming with human stories at the center. And the separation is getting clearer: Are you making marketing, or are you making culturally relevant media? Both can work. Both can yield ROI. But they are not the same thing.

investor update still in the arena, still telling stories.
