“I swallowed a lot of aggression...along with a lot of pizzas”.  Dialogue from the movie, “Stripes”, a comedy from the early 1980′s starring John Candy [pictured], Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and others.

So as some of you may be aware, I am producing a short film for my Masters Degree in Screen Production this year through the University of Auckland. 

The short film “Stiffs” was written by, and will be Directed by Amie Bentall who directed a short webseries last year called “All Bi Myself” [x]

The story is a Dark Comedy about Eva, a 30 something woman who is struggling to take care of her elderly mother. In order to make ends meet she takes a job working for her best friend Francie at a funeral home. Eva learns a valuable lesson about death, mourning and taking responsibility. 

We intend to show that death is not something we should be afraid of, and that it is important to take care of our loved ones when they have passed on. 

At the moment we have a small budget but require a little bit more money to get see this project to completion. We have set up a page on Boosted https://www.boosted.org.nz/projects/stiffs in order to take donations so that we can pay for some of our production and post production costs. (I am also taking donations on my Paypal [email protected]). Boosted is an All or nothing fundraising page which means we have to meet our goal of NZ$2500 (US$1807.63) by Midnight on the 11th of September, (10th of September in the US). 

If you are thinking, why should I donate my hard earned money and not get anything in return, I can offer my services as script or story developer. Send your writing (no more than 15 pages) to my email  [email protected] and a donation (No less than $2 per page) and within 7 days I will send you helpful feedback to improve your writing skills.

In the current digital climate, e-learning platforms are highly sought after. With the pandemic restricting traditional forms of education, applications like Udemy have become increasingly important. Businesses everywhere now need to create their own reliable e-learning apps, and one way they can stand out is by incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their offerings. Doing so can drastically enhance user experience and give them an edge over competitors in the field. Understanding the Udemy Clone App

Udemy clone apps are digital learning platforms that give users the flexibility to access courses from any location at any time. These apps offer courses on various topics like coding, music, business and so forth. Udemy clone app also has several features such as personalized course recommendations, course search and filtering, enrollment in courses, certification upon completion and more. Furthermore, it offers an affordable way to gain knowledge and learn new skills quickly and conveniently. Role of AI in Udemy Clone App Development

The incorporation of AI during Udemy clone app development brings a multitude of advantages for users, instructors, and developers alike. AI is capable of automating tasks to reduce manual labor, allowing apps to operate faster and more efficiently. For example, AI can be used to personalize learning recommendations according to the user's interests, skillset and past experiences; or track progress and adapt the learning path based on their learning speed and style. Plus, tools powered by AI enable instructors to monitor student engagement and use the feedback gathered in order to create course content that better serves students' needs.

Implementing AI in Udemy Clone App

Integrating AI into Udemy clone app development presents a number of advantages; however, there can be some difficulties as well. A major problem is a lack of pertinent data. Companies must gather and interpret relevant data so that they can generate customized suggestions and content for courses. This should be done while keeping a balance between automation by AI and human assistance to make sure that users have an optimal user experience.
