The Rogue Valley AI Lab is putting on a Generative Media Workshop this Friday, January 31 from 1pmā€“6pm at Big Dog Studios in Ashland, Oregon. Admission is a suggested $100 but there is a sliding scale.

The use of AI in filmmaking is definitely a hot topic and a bit controversial, and there's no denying its here and only going to become more important to know what its all about and how to use it.

About Resistance Wine Company (from their website: https://www.resistancewineco.com/)

Have you ever dreamed of stepping off the treadmill and following your passion? Of living life with purpose and defining success on your own terms? That's exactly what Kimberly and Kirk did when they founded Resistance Wine Company.

From Chile to Washington DC to Ashland, Oregon, their spirit of resistance was fueled by a desire to step off the treadmill and follow their passion.

Resistance wines buck the conventions of many traditional winemakers. They do not have additives and focus on sustainable, low intervention and natural solutions. In the vineyard, people are prioritized over machines, and large-scale fermentations and wine manipulations are avoided. The result is highly individual wines that vary in taste each vintage and do not harm the planet.

Every time you open a bottle of Resistance Wine, youā€™re part of the resistance. In drinking a glass, youā€™re supporting farming, winemaking, and life done right: with passion, care, intention, and integrity. So, have a glass, share a bottle, and join the resistance. Remember your own dreams and aspirations, and let the spirit of resistance fuel your own journey.

"Beebeā€™s films are both erudite and punk, lo-fi yet high-brow shorts that wrestle with a disfigured, contemporary American landscape."
ā€”Wyatt Williams, Creative Loafing

Sad day in the world of film. RIP David Lynch, a pioneering filmmaker whose films never failed to shock, enrage and provoke, yet at their core expressed a deep sense of beauty and awareness of the human condition. His style of filmmaking even earned its own adjective: Lynchian. What Lynch film influenced you?

https://www.moviemaker.com/david-lynch-inimitable-dies/?fbclid=IwY2xjawH2d3tleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXle-W2k07dfJcI9xfeklY5q99Kjc3eg_nFsUVsmS80WP4dwh0SwBfk6Bw_aem_g64JrBwOWhm87GgavyE2nA

David Lynch, who made films and television shows unlike anyone else, has died at 78, his family said in a statement Thursday.

Watching whatā€™s going on down in Los Angeles and hoping the fireā€™s rampage ends soon. We know all too well what theyā€™re going through. As the center of the film industry, many of us have colleagues down there, or came from there, or go down there for work, or have relocated and are there now. Our thoughts are with all of them.
