He’s also a technology entrepreneur, co-founding an AI start-up called Claigrid with his brother Pooya. In 2018, he developed an AI singer called Yona who wrote and performed her own music. “Back then it was super sci-fi.” He has also co-founded a studio, Fountain 0, to produce AI-generated films.

The script was not AI-generated, but he did use the chatbot Claude to improve the language and structure his thoughts. The genius of working with AI, he says, is that at any point a film-maker can change their mind, take the plot in an entirely different direction: “You just open another session. You don’t have to worry that you’re rewriting. You multiply your imagination until something hits the right spot.”

"Do you watch Rick and Morty? Sometimes I go so deep emotionally when Rick is regretful. But Rick doesn’t exist. We want Rick to exist because we have the same feelings. Pixar movies make me cry.”

    I pointed this out on another site, but there is basically zero chance these two aren’t just front men for Israel and Israeli political connections. Not that there can’t be be Iranian gusanos, but…

    This company was formed and incorporated less than 5 weeks before the film was supposed to air at one of the bigger film festivals in the world.

    It was announced as fully completed and featuring in said festival barely 3 weeks after the company came into existence.

    The selection process for Tribeca usually takes much longer than that alone.

    These two guys are conspicuously the only people supposedly involved with it - a nobody musician and shady Web3 guy with a series of companies that get funded and then don’t do anything.

    They refuse to say where any of the funding for this project or their company came from.

    They claim it’s a ‘docudrama’ based on written accounts, footage, and first hand sources but when the only people to ask what these sauces were they basically said they’re keeping all that secret.
