Move over, Hollywood—there’s a new player in town, and it’s not playing by the old rules. AI Creator House, a scrappy Tucson-based studio, is proving that you don’t need a blockbuster budget to tell blockbuster-worthy stories. In fact, you might just need a laptop, a wild imagination, and a ...

Here's a new interview with me, talking with Michael Ashley of The AI Philosopher, discussing AI technology, the coming sixth great age of cinema, and how AI-powered films and the millions of new filmmakers it will create can change the world.

The $600 million movie is dead.
Long live the $600 film.

When I sat down with James Maynard of Creator House, I knew we were about to dive into a major cultural shift in filmmaking and he didn’t disappoint.

This week, Insider Weekly profiled a filmmaker who is working to bring Hollywood-level movie making to millions of people around the globe.

Spoiler alert: It's me. I'm that filmmaker. :)

'For Maynard, AI isn’t a magic trick or a threat. It’s a tool that opens the door for creators who’ve long been shut out. “There are thousands of people with stories to tell who can’t move to L.A., can’t raise a budget, or can’t pitch in a room full of executives,” he said. “We built this studio for them — and for all the weird, wonderful, unpolished voices that don’t fit the old molds.”'

My work was covered in The NY Telegraph today!
..Rather than positioning artificial intelligence as a replacement for human creativity, Maynard frames it as a collaborative tool that can lower barriers to entry in an industry notorious for its gatekeeping. For many, this experiment can represent more than just tech. It’s a chance to finally create — even from a kitchen table, a quiet bedroom, or anywhere the traditional industry wouldn’t reach.

“This isn’t about replacing storytellers. It’s about removing the velvet rope. No gatekeepers, just stories — weird, personal, unfinished, and sometimes unexpectedly beautiful,” Maynard explained.

MORTAL COIL

The ancient legends never died. They just got day jobs.

In this offbeat, sharp-witted pilot from James G. Maynard (Nobody Believes Cassandra, Satan: The Untold Story), ancient myths collide with the everyday headaches of the 21st century—gig work, bad dates, worse algorithms, and the ongoing mystery of human Wi-Fi.

Episode 1: “Maddie Sosa” - Maddie Sosa just wants to sell hats in peace. But when a customer named Karen picks the wrong retail worker to insult, she may just learn the hard way that some bad attitudes come with… lasting consequences.

🐍 A revolutionary AI-powered animation – Experience mythology like never before in crisp 9:16 vertical format, delivered in razor-sharp 2-3 minute episodes. Fast, fierce, and stone-cold funny.

Subscribe for more myth-meets-mundane chaos—because eternity is too long to suffer fools.

🎬 What If Artificial Intelligence Ran a Film Studio?
Linet in Nairobi finishes the final edits to a first draft screenplay before the sun rises. She’s quiet, careful with her choices, trusting that the story will bloom more fully once Ji-Ho in Seoul wakes up and begins sketching out the first round of storyboards. By the time he sees her message, she’ll be asleep. She dreams in three acts.

By Thursday, the voice cast will meet—virtually—for a read-through: Amaya in Lima, who trained an ElevenLabs model to sound like her grandmother’s lullabies; Jonah in Toronto, who records from inside a closet with foam padding and AI reverb cleanup; and Leila in Marseille, who is also the producer, lead actor, and marketing strategist. The film’s composer—barely old enough to vote—will craft the score, layering whispers and wind into a synthetic cello that sounds like mourning and rebirth.

Their “studio” is a shared folder, a Discord server, and the belief that art doesn’t require permission.
