Casey Affleck tested AI for filmmaking and came away optimistic. That's notable because most actors are worried about it.

Ep 307 - Is Story Dead? What Five Nights at Freddy’s Says About Hollywood
In this episode, Geoffrey D. Calhoun is joined by co-host Kristy Leigh to unpack what Five Nights at Freddy’s 1 & 2 reveal about the current state of Hollywood storytelling. What happens when IP, fan service, and box office data matter more than narrative coherence? Is this the future of studio filmmaking, and if so, where does that leave screenwriters who still care about story? The conversation expands into the larger industry landscape, including Netflix’s dominance, data-driven decision making, the Stranger Things finale controversy, and what writers should realistically prepare for moving forward. What You’ll Learn in This Episode - Why Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 abandons traditional storytelling in favor of fan service - How studios are prioritizing IP and data over narrative cohesion - The difference between box office success and storytelling success - Why the Stranger Things finale struggled and what writers can learn from it - Practical advice for new writers developing loglines and short stories - Where story-driven filmmakers still fit in today’s industry Key Moments - 00:25 – Geoffrey watches Five Nights at Freddy’s and immediately senses something is off - 03:00 – Kristy explains how fan service overtook story in the sequel - 07:00 – Geoffrey breaks down why the sequel has no clear plot or rules - 09:45 – Is Hollywood splitting into data-driven content vs story-driven films? - 15:00 – Why the Stranger Things finale failed structurally - 17:40 – Advice for writers handwriting drafts vs typing - 19:00 – How to turn loglines and short stories into real screenplays About the Guest Kristy Leigh Lussier is a producer, filmmaker, and longtime co-host of The Successful Screenwriter.

Just finished my screening. Holy shit, that movie. It does things with filmmaking that feel like music; that feel like oral storytelling; that feel like a whole different narrative medium??

Also: I am eternally convinced that Bi Gan played Shenmue in 1999 and it changed his life

It was the app that had me continue to self teach myself filmmaking. Before tik tok, i hated editing in film production, cuz of tiktok and its accessibile editing function it had, ive fallen in love with editing. Its now my favorite part of filmmaking.

It deserves even award it was nominated for and represents the height of filmmaking.
Rewatched Sinners today, and I’m sorry but if you don’t think this movie deserves the accolades it’s gotten I’m gonna look at you funny.
