Dragon Hunter

A friend of mine, Don, made this video. Do yourself a favour and have a look – it is 16 minutes. Watch it on a laptop with earphones. You may be entertained or you may not be. But you will be amazed. This video was created with AI. Everything you will see and hear was generated. One guy created this using AI technology, talent and inspiration.

If you do have 16 mins and watch it please email me and share your thoughts. Don wrote a high concept film script which I read and enjoyed. This video is an exciting experiment : turning a script into a film using AI. The story is a wild, fun, feel good adventure, set in the future. It seems to fit well into the realm of AI film making.

In a week where there has been so much media attention to Tilly Norwood it feels like an apt time to share the Dragon Hunter here.

Cleaned me out !

The Bunster is 5 today. He is our everything. This little man has kept Marta and I sane during these difficult times. We love him to bits.

He has had quite a ride this guy. He has lived in 4 countries and he has seen a lot. Not that he will remember. One day we will tell him some colourful stories.

This weekend we went to Hamleys and it was an adventure. The bag of goodies is bigger than the Bun. He is a very lucky Bunster man.

Kyiv of Mine: a Cinematic Love Letter to a City Under Siege

“The documentary shines in its refusal to reduce Ukrainians to victims. Instead, it highlights their humanity, revealing a city where laughter and creativity persist even under fire. Western viewers will find themselves confronted not just with images of war, but with a deeper, richer understanding of Ukraine as a modern, soulful nation.“

It’s all so hard to believe

Trump has now refused to sanction Russia for 8 months. And Putin continues to terrorize Ukraine, with the attacks becoming more and more brutal. Putin escalates and Trump does nothing. The attacks on Kyiv, and the rest of Ukraine, are multiple times more intense and frequent than before Trump took over the White House again.

So where exactly is Trump’s so-called “toughness”?! Rolling out the red carpet, applauding a dictator, and fussing over the very man who wages war and terrorizes millions. Trump will not do anything that is hard on Russia, in my view.

In a recent interview I caught on the news: Are you ready to move to the second phase of sanctions against Russia or punishing Putin? President Trump: Yeah. I am.

What second phase?! What punishment?! WTF!?

This is all so shameful.
