Slop and Glory Podcast

Eliott Mogenet @eliott__mogenet chats about hybrid filmmaking: combining live actors, live footage and AI-generated images. We explore his Future Vision X Prize film *After the Stars*, using AI previs, the pitfalls of LED stages, and why actors, crews and craft still matter

Sam Wasserman @SamJWasserman (26 yrs directing & producing) on why AI films will one day just be called films, the open-source tools he built (Blockout, Motion Previs Studio, STEM Studio), running Hermes agents locally, and why creators need their own United Artists.

Daniil Volkau @machina9000 on why six fingers aren't the machine's error — our errors make us human. Prompt for the vibe, not the numbers. The 15-second lottery, a story with no continuity, why the future is series, and how his stock shots ended up in Hollywood blockbusters.

Filmmaker Jordan Daniel Chesney (The Alliance, 91) talks about how he stays so prolific ("16-hour days"), why he generates primarily with Seedance on InVideo and still leans on Kling, and how he organizes everything in Milanote, Skipping storyboards, managing credits and MORE.

UK filmmaker @jennykrakovsky on ten years in commercials, not waiting for permission, the festival golden-ticket trap, making a feature from her bedroom, escaping the UK's crabs-in-a-bucket mentality and a ton MORE!
