Braid is the latest platform providing fan engagement tools for the creator economy. The young company is looking to build AI-driven products after raising a $6.8 million seed round that included participation from Andreessen Horowitz and Initialized Capital.
On its website, Braid breaks its features into four categories. At its foundation, the platform is a landing page builder reminiscent of link-in-bio services like Linktree. Creators can pull together their posts, podcasts, merch, and more, consolidating them in one location.
Though Braid connects to its users’ social channels, several of its products utilize a phone-based form of communication: Text messages. Creators can employ Braid to collect their fans’ phone numbers, which allows them to build outreach lists. Once those lists have been compiled, creators can deliver links and messages via SMS.
For creators who prefer internet-based communication, Braid’s group chat tool facilitates Q&a sessions with fans. The platform also offers...

I first saw Braid (aka Dying to Play) at the North Bend Film Festival in 2018. I immediately loved it. The colors, the story, the bizarreness of it all was right up my alley. But there was something else about it that really struck me. It was something I couldn’t quite define, but it made me comfortable. I felt safe with it, in a strange way.
It was only later when I saw Greta Gerwig’s phenomenal adaptation of Little Women that I made the connection and figured it out. The March sisters create a space where they can be completely themselves. They are loud and boisterous and free from societal constraints. It’s a space where they can simply exist. And it is Theirs.
In her film, Mitzi Peirone creates a similar space for her trio of characters. Sure, it’s a little more violent and murderous than the March house,...

As subscription-based, on-demand gaming services have gained popularity in recent years, both PlayStation Now and Xbox Game Pass have established their positions at the top of the market by offering a variety of content and great value for subscribers. There’s just one burning question demands to be answered: Which one is better?
It’s a tough one. Each has advantages over the other – Ps Now has more attractive pricing plus its library of 700+ titles makes Game Pass’ library of 200+ titles look paltry in comparison, whereas Xbox Game Pass tends to offer more recent games as well as including first party titles on the day of release.
It’s hard to say which one is better overall, but taken one month at a time, we may get our answer. So join us as we look at what’s been added and what was removed from each service and declare which...

At prestigious private school Haldwell, student factions hold power. There are five, among them The Spades, run by Selah (Lovie Simone), the role of her faction is to provide the illicit substances on which the underground parties organised by another faction, covered up by yet another, are run. As a senior, Selah is moving on at the end of the year and there is no apparent successor to her position, until Paloma (Celeste O’Connor) arrives and is taken under her wing.
That summary is the very surface level of what Selah and the Spades is about. Writer/Director Tayarisha Poe’s debut feature is impressively original and jammed with ideas, but it also falls interestingly into an emerging subgenre, driven by female directors. These films, like Anna Rose Holmer’s The Fits, Mitzi Pierone’s Braid, Alice Waddington’s Paradise Hills and Jennifer Reeder’s stunning Knives + Skin (as yet...

For console owners, tomorrow (April 16th) will see the addition of The Long Dark, Hinterland Studio’s first-person survival game set against the icy Canadian wilderness. It just so happens to take place after a global disaster, too, so if you’re wanting your virtual world to echo the one outside your window, The Long Dark may prove to be a timely treat.

Exclusive: Deadline has learned that Bella Thorne will star in director Mitzi Peirone’s post-apocalyptic thriller The Uncanny.
Written by Peirone and Chaya Doswell, The Uncanny presents a future where every citizen is implanted with a chip capable of controlling everything from emotions to directions, until a routine update backfires, causing a cyber apocalypse. Wiping out most of humanity, five strangers miraculously survive, now forced to live hidden in a bunker with their implants ripped from their spines. They were the few lucky enough to survive – until Scarlet (Thorne) begins to suspect they were not saved at all, or by chance.
Rebecca Berrih (Elysian Fields Entertainment) who recently produced Beyond the Sky which was released by Rlj entertainment, Thor Bradwell (Jt Leroy) and Courtney Shepard, who serves as Director of Development at New Republic Pictures, the company responsible for co-financing and producing Oscar Best Picture nominee 1917 and Rocketman, will produce.

More than a decade has passed since The Slamdance Guerrilla Game Competition was removed from Utah’s annual independent film festival following an online furor over the entry and consequent removal of the controversial game “Super Columbine Massacre RPG!”. But the decision to close the Guerrilla showcase “was not based on controversy,” Slamdance President Peter Baxter tells Variety.
“It was based on being able to properly focus support for our artists and the desire to broaden the array of artists working in digital, immersive and gaming media.”
“For 25 years Slamdance has broken boundaries by championing works and the artists who’ve made them. We’ve been criticized and celebrated for doing so. We answer to no one. We’re aware our programming decisions sometimes upset people, especially with works like ‘Waco Resurrection,’ ‘Graphic Sexual Horror,’ ‘Super Columbine Massacre’ and this year’s’ Dollhouse.’

Happy almost 2019, dear readers! The holiday season is nearly over, but rather than let that get you down, why not indulge in some great horror movies coming our way over the next few months? Usually, the winter season of genre releases can be something of a mixed bag in terms of quality, but there some impressive projects coming out in the next few months that have me extremely excited as a horror fan. The two films that are my most anticipated are (of course) Us from Jordan Peele and Christopher Landon’s sequel Happy Death Day 2U, but I’m also very intrigued by what I’ve seen from films like Greta, Glass, Braid, Captive State, and Escape Room so far, and am really looking forward to seeing how those stories come together onscreen as well.

Powerfully crafting a visually lavish and narratively head-spinning horror movie isn’t always an easy task for filmmakers.

"A Lynchian head trip." Whoa. Blue Fox Entertainment has unleashed an official red band trailer for a new "psycho-thriller" film titled Braid, which originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. From filmmaker Mitzi Peirone, making her feature debut, the story is about two wanted women who decide to rob their wealthy psychotic friend who lives in the fantasy world they created as children. Say what? Yeah, this look trippy and wild and violent and dangerous. In order to get away with the money, the woman have to take part in a deadly perverse game of make believe. Peirone's Braid stars Madeline Brewer, Imogen Waterhouse, Sarah Hay, Scott Cohen, Brad Calcaterra, and Mary Looram. This certainly seems as crazy as it sounds, and the footage is quite wacky. Hard to make any sense of it, but I think that's the point. Here's the official red band trailer (+ poster) for Mitzi Peirone's Braid,...

Jonathan Blow, the indie game developer behind critically-acclaimed puzzle titles “Braid” and “The Witness,” is working on a new project and he showed footage of it during a recent talk at the Gamelab conference in Spain. Gamelab took place in June, but the video of Blow’s talk finally reached YouTube on Friday.
The unnamed project is inspired by a 1981 Japanese puzzle game called “Sokoban,” where the player must push boxes around a warehouse to get them into specific storage locations. Blow’s game uses a similar concept, but wraps it in a fantasy aesthetic. There’s a big crystal that needs moving and three characters with specific abilities, like a wizard who casts a teleport spell. There’s also an undo feature in case the player messes up.
Blow told Eurogamer in 2017 the project already contains 25 hours of gameplay, mostly comprised of short, one-room levels. “We haven’t really...

“Braid” is something of a throwback to certain films of the ’60s and ’70s, in which “psycho chillers,” giallos, and those art-house items that critic Pauline Kael called “Come-Dressed-As-The-Sick-Soul-of-Europe Parties” got all tangled up in supposedly shocking tales of decadence and perversion. Here, three young women — two on the lam, one off her gourd — play twisted “games” at a isolated upstate New York manse.
People get tied up, somebody dies, and every note in the key of hysteria is struck with the insistence of a hammer on a child’s xylophone. But suspense, let alone psychological nuance or narrative development, all take a back seat to what feels like an empty, mannered series of dress-up photo opportunities. “Braid” does look great. But Mitzi Peirone’s debut feature is so void of any substance beyond the pretentiously pictorial that one suspects her real calling is in music videos or advertising.

As a 60-second timer counts down in the top-left corner, one of the first characters you’ll encounter in “Minit,” an elderly man by a lighthouse, drip-feeds his dialogue to you with the lackadaisical attitude of a “Skyrim” or “Breath of the Wild” quest-giver. Before he finishes whatever he was saying, the timer hits zero and you die, spawning again at your home, cursed sword in hand. The timer drums up again.
I never went back to that old man before finishing the game, never figured out what he was saying. I had better things to do and, crucially, only a minute to do them. “Minit” is a cracked whip in an old-man’s world, and I’m a whippersnapper.
Link, too, is one of the most notorious whippersnappers in all of media, having been memed to death by his seemingly sociopathic approach to other people’s property, privacy, and quest-driven needs.
