Draft Text

James — quick one. I'm working on something I think is genuinely interesting for DIFF this year. I built an AI-powered production pipeline for my documentary in Ukraine — automated transcription, translation, proxy generation, searchable footage database. I want to productize it and I'm thinking DIFF could be the launch. Is there a tech track or industry panel this year where this would fit?

Would love to grab 5 minutes.

Draft Message

Yurii,

Hope you're well. Following up on the message I sent in February about Andrii Ivanov's family and his brothers-in-arms. Were you able to reach them? Have you heard anything back?

No rush. Just want to know where things stand so we can plan for May.

Thank you,
Thaddeus
