In this episode, we meet Michael Morgenstern, Film Director and Founder/CEO of @ This is Definitely Real, a company that makes Alternate Reality Cinema that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. The conversation focuses on what's coming next with disinformation enhanced by AI, how tribalism forms, and how experiential storytelling can be used to modify our existing meta-narratives. How will we operate in a world where reality has broken down? We also discuss the film he is currently making, "Dared My Best Friend", his journey navigating the intersection between art and tech, and the future of human narratives.
