I am going to leave this letter up here for about an hour, or maybe a day. Not much longer than that. It’s for someone I know who used to work at Gizmodo. He is a very talented writer. He can do skits.

I hope I hear back from him. If I don’t, I’m going to chalk it up to    #sexism.   Believe it or not, I hear it still exists.

Hi _ _ _ _,

I imagine this address no longer works for you. Going to send you a short message on LinkedIn as well, although that is not my preferred platform.

The main thing is, you have more experience in screenwriting than I do. Also, in being part of short film projects. I may be out of my depth with what I’m trying to create. But it’s very important. You could think of it as a PSA segment.

It’s about the dangers of generative AI video, if those powers ever fall into the wrong hands. And believe me, they have. Anyway, TTYL.

Best wishes,
