If anyone at the premiere tonight heard a “THAT’S FUCKIN’ RIGHT!” yelled during the end credits of BLACK PHONE 2 where it declared that the movie cannot be repurposed to train AI, that was me.

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

It’s starting to feel more like Fall. Willow trees shot with a 50mm lens look even more dreamy 💚

I always have similar feelings whenever I take up a creative hobby and I kinda blame the “attention economy” as I feel like it can really suck the joy out of creative endeavors for people. It feels like our works value has to hinge on how many other people like it 😕

I hope I’m lucky enough to find Rome apples this year. They’re my favorite but have gotten so hard to find in my area. McIntosh Reds are a second favorite and those are always in abundance 🍎
