this summer, i’m travelling to 30 countries documenting the stories of exceptional young creatives it won’t be a podcast. it’ll all be short videos, tweets and blogs the goal is to make taking unconventional paths more known, accessible and more of a norm globally i’m back.

life update vlog from april 1st to may 1st: - came to SF and caught up with ppl from pixar, higgsfield, bytedance, comfyui and [redacted] - spent 2 weeks in LA briefly and saw how big production studios use AI in their workflows - finalized our new office space in sf (40,000 sqft!). rn we don’t even know what to make of the space yet (message us if you have ideas). - successfully avoided raising venture capital as much as possible (W) - made sure to hit the gym every single day (bulking is so damn hard) main pivot has been we cancelled the LA AI Film Festival and are now planning a big initiative that we’d be announcing soon. this would be a project that’d work between our sf, bangalore and tokyo office which is super exciting hey siri, play life is a highway from the movie “Cars” life is GOOD and TOUGH — i couldn’t for anything better

Two weeks ago, we blew up on Twitter and sparked a debate in Bollywood, after voicing how reaching to Sam Altman is easier than Karan Johar. A side of the internet cheered for us 20-somethings organizing the AI Film Festival. On the other side, Vir Das made a video about us. A popular film critic Sucharita critiqued us. But we have always been convicted that the work of a critic is easy. The bitter truth critics must face is in the grand scheme of things, an average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than the criticism designating itself. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, and, the new needs friends. We at localhost HQ and Invideo are providing a space for these new underdogs of AI filmmakers to show the world how far AI filmmaking has reached. And how most of the world is completely oblivious of its advancements. We are here to show the world AI video is here to sure, take some production jobs, but simultaneously, allow any one to dream and create videos, like never before, without $100M budgets. Whether you agree with us or not, if you have an open mind full of curiosity, consider coming to the Screening of the AI x Filmmaking Festival, on November 2nd, 6PM at Royal Opera House, Mumbai. People who have made AI films in 7 days, will have their work screened here amongst other parts of the agenda, which includes a panel with a Bollywood director, actor and influential people in the industry. Also expect a red-carpet, robots walking around, a jazz-band and more. We are already running a waitlist, but are prioritizing people in Bollywood, academics and professors, government officials, world changemakers, and soaring technologists. Consider coming, and best case, try to get a warm intro to us.
