Since childhood, I'd always been drawing and making.

I got the internet in 1995. I put my hands on it and didn't let go.

Before pixels, there were pencils. I taught myself both.

By 1998 I was doing it for money. Flash. Photoshop. Boston studios. New York ones. I learned the way you learn anything worth knowing — by refusing to leave until it made sense.

I saw something nobody else did. The work didn't need a building.

So I built a studio without walls in 2002. IRC. FTP. Skype before it meant anything. They called it frontier. They meant it as an insult. The studio died in 2004. Not enough business. Too early.

I filed that away.

Later, in 2008 I started Echo Bridge. No office. No apology.

It grew. From my home office to seventy-five artists strong. Five continents. Five million dollars. Everything I'd tried to prove in 2002 — proved.

But I'd become someone I didn't recognize. Running spreadsheets. Managing headcount. The thing that lit me up at fifteen was buried under the machinery I'd built to protect it.

GPT arrived in 2022. I watched it the way you watch a fire.

A major studio contract. AI coordinating teams across three time zones, three languages, three cultures. It worked. I was good at it.

When the contract ended I was empty in a way I recognized.

I got on a plane with my wife. No plan.

We moved. Then moved again. Somewhere in that open space I started making things. Small things. AI as collaborator, not cost-cutter.

And there it was. Still burning. The thing from childhood.

I hadn't lost it. I'd buried it.

Nomus.

Not a studio in the old sense. A place to make the films I want to see. Build the tools I need to make them. Own what I create. Ask no one's permission.

The films started winning. The tools started working. The pipeline I'd spent thirty years assembling — it finally fit.

We're still building.

New tools. New films. New infrastructure for a kind of filmmaking that didn't exist five years ago.

Small crew. Big ambitions. Award-winning work. Bitcoin-native. Nostr-native. Frontier — and proud of it.

We're not early anymore.

We're right on time.
