Runway for All was the theme of the People’s Ball the Sunday before Met Gala. What a blast walking the catwalk. Cat on the catwalk with a cat hat by .sdesigns75 drove the point home! After hundreds of people sashayed, I was inspired to get in on the inclusive action. Next day I was on the freaking cover of the Park Slope Courier. What a hoot. Pays to be spontaneous!! Thank you

Is AI going to eat Hollywood… or will Hollywood take control of a piece of it before that happens?

I’ve been reading a lot of commentary lately from people like Ben Affleck and Robert Tercek, and the tension is fascinating.

Because this isn’t just about technology.

It’s about infrastructure.
Power.
Distribution.
Who gets to control storytelling next.

AI is already changing production pipelines, editing, visual development, marketing, and short-form content creation. The question now is whether Hollywood adapts fast enough to integrate it into the system… or whether entirely new ecosystems emerge outside the traditional gatekeepers.

And honestly, after the conversations happening around vertical dramas and AI filmmaking right now, I think we’re entering a much bigger shift than most people realize.

I’ve got my own theories.

Watch this space or DM me.

Vertical dramas are not a trend.

They are a structural shift in entertainment.

I got into vertical dramas early because of my background in mobile technology, and from the beginning I understood something many people in traditional film and television missed:

The audience had already changed.

People no longer consume content the same way they did 10 years ago.

They want:

* faster pacing
* emotional intensity
* mobile-first storytelling
* constant engagement

And vertical dramas deliver exactly that.

Now the industry is catching up.

Studios are entering the market.
AI filmmaking tools are accelerating production.
Short-form storytelling is becoming a global business model.

But here’s what producers are realizing very quickly:

Speed alone is not enough.

You still need:

* strong actors
* emotional truth
* compelling characters
* performances that hold attention instantly

That’s where I come in.

I’ve worked in multiple vertical drama productions and understand the unique demands of this format:

* compressed storytelling
* rapid production schedules
* high emotional stakes
* mobile audience retention

And because I entered this space early, I’ve had the opportunity to watch the ecosystem evolve in real time.

The next phase of entertainment is being built right now.

Vertical dramas.
AI filmmaking.
Mobile-first media.

The people who understand all three early will have an enormous advantage.

If you’re producing in this space, let’s connect.

I love how my Catwoman Power Piece bib necklace - it perfectly complements my hand painted repurposed jacket. .pieces is the accessory du jour with this pink all over my jacket. It made me happy on this gloomy day. Dressing up when you are feeling down is the best revenge. And knowing no one was exploited to make my pieces and it didn’t “cost” the planet anything in expenses resources….tooling around the city on this Mother’s Day weekend!

One of the most interesting developments in entertainment right now is the rise of vertical dramas.

Unlike traditional film and TV, this format operates at high speed — creating a consistent demand for actors, writers, and production teams.

It’s not just content. It’s a growing industry with real opportunity.

The upcoming Vertical Drama Event in Los Angeles will break down how this ecosystem works.

Hedy Lamarr was the biggest movie star in Hollywood. She co-invented the technology that became WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The military ignored her for years.

I’m Anina Net. Actress and fashion technologist for 25 years. I designed 162 Intel-powered smart gloves that performed on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for 1.3 billion viewers. I brought NFC to Chinese fashion shows in 2012 — ten years before the EU decided to mandate chips in every garment sold in Europe.

Three days ago Milla Jovovich — Leeloo, Alice, one of the most iconic action stars alive — shipped an open-source AI memory system called MemPalace. 23,000 GitHub stars in 48 hours. It outperforms every paid competitor. She built it because AI kept forgetting her conversations and she got frustrated enough to fix it herself.

Three actresses. Three technologies. One pattern.

None of us are engineers. All of us live in two industries at the same time. We see what’s broken because we’re the ones using it, wearing it, performing in it, living with it every day.

Engineers test in labs. We test in life.
The tech industry keeps saying it needs more women in tech. What it actually needs is more women who are NOT engineers but who refuse to accept that broken things stay broken.

Hedy saw it in 1942. I saw it in 2012. Milla saw it in 2025.

We don’t wait for permission. We build.

You think it’s just a quick makeup routine.

But this is what it actually looks like.

On a train.
In motion.
Limited space.
Limited time.

And still needing to show up ready.

This is the part people don’t see.

The in-between moments.
The transitions.
The getting-ready-while-already-going.

Because when you’re building something — whether it’s a career, a project, or a life — it doesn’t happen in perfect conditions.

It happens here.

In movement.
In small windows of time.
In figuring it out as you go.

This routine isn’t about makeup.

It’s about adaptability.

It’s about being able to prepare anywhere, anytime — because the opportunity doesn’t wait for ideal circumstances.

You meet it where you are.

And you keep moving.

DM me “Makeup” and I’ll tell you what I’m using.

I recently visited Savers — a secondhand retail store — and was struck by how different the experience felt compared to traditional thrift shopping.

The store was highly organized, visually appealing, and filled with quality clothing that felt immediately wearable.

It raised an interesting point:

When secondhand retail is presented well, it changes consumer perception.

Instead of feeling like a secondary option, it becomes a viable — even preferable — alternative.

At the same time, walking through rows of well-maintained, donated clothing highlights the scale of existing supply in the market.

There is already an enormous volume of usable inventory circulating outside traditional retail channels.

This has implications for:
– consumer behavior
– retail strategy
– sustainability
– and the broader fashion ecosystem

The opportunity may not just be in producing more — but in better organizing and redistributing what already exists.

Vertical dramas are no longer niche — they’re scaling globally.

– 100M+ users across major short drama platforms
– Episodes under 2 minutes driving massive retention
– Rapid production cycles creating continuous demand

This isn’t just content. It’s an emerging industry.

And it’s moving fast.

If you want to understand how vertical dramas, short-form series, and mobile-first storytelling are reshaping entertainment, the Vertical Drama Event (May 7–10, Los Angeles) is where the conversation is happening.
