Executive Order – Kennedy Center (Speculative)
SUMMARY January 20, 2029 Today, the President signed an Executive Order restoring the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to its lawful name, memorial status, and independent governance.

Introducing Project 2029
Project 2029 began as a deliberate shift in how I use imagination. More than thirty-five years ago, I made dystopian films that imagined political and social futures shaped by fear, institutional failure, and concentration of power. At the time, those futures felt exaggerated—useful as warnings, but safely distant from reality. Over time, many of the conditions those films explored stopped feeling speculative and began to feel familiar. That experience changed how I think about storytelling and political imagination. If dystopian futures can move from fiction into lived experience, then imagination is not neutral. It shapes what people expect, accept, and resign themselves to. Project 2029 is a conscious decision to move in the opposite direction—to [...]
The Accident Was Minor. The Injury Was Not. Why Low-Impact Car Crashes Still Cause Serious Harm
People tend to describe car accidents using the language of property damage. The car wasn’t totaled. The bumper barely dented. The airbags didn’t deploy. Everyone walked away. And yet, weeks later, the pain arrives. This disconnect—between what a crash looked like and what it did—is one of the most common and most misunderstood issues in New York car accident cases. It is also one of the most aggressively exploited by insurance companies. In Queens, where traffic is dense, speeds are inconsistent, and collisions often occur in close quarters, many crashes fall into the category insurers like to call “minor impact.” The phrase sounds scientific. It isn’t. It’s a financial label, not a medical one. Vehicle Damage [...]
Gravity: CEO Politics
Before Donald Trump turned American politics into corporate spectacle, No Such Thing as Gravity predicted exactly that world: a CEO-in-chief who governs like a brand manager and treats the country like a company. Policies become product launches. Truth becomes marketing copy. Leadership becomes performance. The film’s portrayal of a profit-obsessed leader is disturbingly familiar. Decisions that affect millions are reframed as business calculations. Human lives become numbers on a spreadsheet. This collapse of morality into metrics is the film’s most chilling insight — and its most prophetic. See this prescient political satire at the Spectacle Theater in Brooklyn, part of the Multiple Futures trilogy.
Betaville: Comedy of Capitalism
Most dystopias are grim. Betaville is bright, loud, absurd — and that’s what makes it devastating. Instead of showing us a dark authoritarian future, it reveals the ridiculousness of our own world by pushing capitalist culture to its comedic breaking point. The film’s exaggerated fashion, extravagant characters, and relentless pursuit of trendiness showcase the ways in which capitalism creates arbitrary hierarchies. People compete not for survival, but for relevance. Success isn’t measured in ethics or intelligence, but in visibility—a concept more relevant now than ever in the influencer age. Why does the comedy hurt? Because it’s true. The film exposes the irrationality of capitalist systems that prey on insecurity, reward superficiality, and punish nonconformity. In [...]
Betaville: Cruelty of Style
In Betaville, aesthetic judgment has evolved into a form of social control. Looking wrong isn’t embarrassing — it’s dangerous. The film imagines a world where falling out of style is a capital offense, a reality in which fashion determines value and conformity determines survival. This mirrors one of the harshest truths of modern culture: beauty standards and trend cycles exert tremendous emotional pressure, especially on teens and young women. Social media has turned public evaluation into a 24/7 spectator sport. A single post can crown someone “in” or exile them as “cringe.” Betaville simply makes literal what many already feel: that style is a form of power, and losing it is a kind of death. [...]
