What sometimes might be misunderstood about what we do at @machinecinemaai is not just a community. We are also building a culture, a system, and a series of practices. But ultimately it really comes down to who we are as a core team with myself, @ferrdo, @affan_imran, and @megbutton and the wider collective of people and partners we love to work with. But we really love people, discussion, art, music, film, concerts, products, social media, memes, processes, our families, and traveling. All of those things are infused in what we do and Machine Cinema and Fantastic Day are reflections of that. We talk about all of those things on top of building our company and community is a byproduct.

While branded entertainment isn’t new, financial pressure on the entertainment industry means that more filmmakers are open to working with brands, eliminating some of the industry’s stigma around sponsored projects, said @Tribeca Enterprises CEO Rebecca Glashow. adweek.it/3RZ7iHU

Netflix has acquired interpositive, a start-up founded by Ben Affleck that makes AI-powered tools for filmmakers.
• The system builds AI models from a film’s dailies to assist with postproduction tasks like color, relighting and VFX while keeping filmmakers “at the center of the process.”
• Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s CCO, says the tech will provide creatives “more choices, more control and more protection for their vision.”

It’s long been a dream of mine to feature the billboards of America, especially Silicon Valley and Los Angeles. They’re a great window into the marketing culture and what marketers think is effective messaging to the local culture and what’s hitting. It would have made a great Tumblr.
In SF, it’s AI meets on-the-nose irony. In LA, it’s what shows and films want to matter and car accidents. In New York, it spans the gamut of new companies to fashion to f&b.
So instead of making a Tumblr, I’ll just post a few of them here once in awhile. Hope you like.
In this set:
Airbnb has one of the best billboards in SF. Hands down. Always topical, funny, thoughtful, and creative.
Figma: surprisingly not creative? I feel like the word “prompt” just shouldn’t be in ads.
iPhone: once again underlining how much they’re not in AI. An ad from 2014 manages to make it into 2026.

Super proud of the new website for @fantasticdayxyz! Kudos to @affan_imran and @megbutton for all the hard work. It really speaks to our evolving aesthetics and showcases our work.
Also love the interplay between the fun and community-oriented vibrant colorful vibe of Machine Cinema versus the edgy orange magazine/studio aesthetic of Fantastic Day.
