As a filmmaker it is fascinating to me that we all don’t see the world the same way. So, I made a camera add-on that would show me in real-time how my doggies see the world.

Comment “dog” and I’ll send you the link so you can use it too!

We are not vibecoding, we are

Vibecoding builds an app. Vibedirecting builds a world. Welcome to the director’s chair powered by OpenArt.

I’ve had this idea for an animated short since my days in film school. Never had the time or resources to pull it off… until openart gave me the chance to test their new tool. I am hooked.

Still buzzing from the Culture FYI’RS workshop 💬

Always special to be back at FYI, and even more meaningful to spend this time sharing and building alongside such an open and curious group.

We had artists, executives, and genuinely curious creatives all in one room, ready to explore. Introducing Luma Agents and watching ideas take shape in minutes using Uni-1 was a highlight. The range of what people created in such a short time was incredible.

This session was all about getting past the blank page and just starting, and the energy in the room made that feel easy.

Huge thank you to Julie and Roneal for the invitation and for bringing together such an inspiring community. Excited for what’s ahead and to see what everyone continues to create beyond FYI 🚀🎬🎨

SXSW in Austin just hits different 🤠✨
From building films from scratch in the morning to watching it all come to life on the backlot by sunset, this one felt special.

From Prompt Till Post to Till Dusk Do Us Part

We kicked things off with a hands-on workshop with creatives, agencies, and filmmakers moving from idea to ex*****on in real time. Storyboards, character consistency, video workflows, and seeing it all come together on screen just hours later.

We were also fortunate to host an incredible panel featuring
Robert Rodriguez (Troublemaker Studios / )
Caroline Ingeborn (Luma AI)
Christopher Sinnott (AWS)
Alex Haskell (ElevenLabs)

Then we opened up Troublemaker Studios and let it ride. Good people, great energy, and a live set from CHINGON as the sun went down over the backlot.

Huge thank you to our partners who made it all happen

and teams at Troublemaker Studios, AWS, ElevenLabs and of course,

And to everyone who showed up, built with us, and made it what it was.

Austin, you were good to us 🤍
Also the last photo is giving album cover energy… we might have something here 🏇🏻
