The Pier

Project details match catalog

About

Inspired by the photo roman style of La Jetee, THE PIER is experimental film/visual podcast consisting of images generated with Midjourney; the short will also use other emerging AI creative tools as a monument to AI + human creative collaboration.

Impact

Doom and gloom dominates conversations about AI in Hollywood, for good reason. If artists don't embrace new tech, corporations will use it to their own capitalistic ends; THE PIER shows how AI can empower artists and level the playing field.

Progress

I recorded the VO, created the images and am currently editing.

Team

I've worked in both entertainment and tech, from huge conglomerates to nimble startups. I led creative projects innovating across film, tv, podcasts, digital and web3, while championing more access and support for underrepresented creators.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
