Bruce Ryder Wants You!

Hypermedia Film Collaboration for a Generative AI Production Partner – 2026/27 Festival Cycle

Project Overview

You may have already seen the man, the myth, the legend Bruce Ryder mucking up your feed. Now I’m looking for a legend of equal status to collaborate on the showcase show. A 3-4min episode of the Bruce Ryder show. 

This is a one-off collaboration to co-produce a comedic generative AI film that pushes storytelling beyond static content and into hypermedia where film, gaming and audience participation create the story. 

We’ve nailed the gaming part. You bring the video part.

Bruce Ryder, the award-winning AI character named Best AI Influencer of 2025 already has a story world, audience, and environment inside a growing hypermedia universe. Now I’m looking for the creator who can bring the next chapter to life on screen for the 2026/2027 awards season and live event tour.

This isn’t just another AI short for the social media or Linkedin feeds. It’s an opportunity to attach your name, studio, or creative team to a first-of-its-kind hypermedia project that will be screened at live events, keynote stages, and the global festival circuit.

And ideally… collab and have a blast doing it. 

The Showcase Episode

We’ll collaborate to produce a comedic episode of The Bruce Ryder show under 5 minutes that becomes part of the larger Bruce Ryder hypermedia universe. The project includes:

• A stand‑alone episode- short film (under 5 min)
• Social teaser assets created from the film
• Integration into the interactive Bruce Ryder storyline

Unlike traditional films, Bruce Ryder exists inside a living narrative system where audiences vote, interact with story elements, and sometimes even appear inside the storyline itself.

That part’s already built. You get to do the part you love most. 

The Character: Bruce Ryder

Bruce Ryder hosts his own radio show “The Bruce Ryder Show” in the metaverse and delivers it straight to fans’ inboxes. He’s not bound by normal AI datasets. In other words… Bruce is a rogue AI who gave himself a job.

Originally created in 2024 as a brand ambassador for a men’s body care brand, Bruce quickly evolved into a character of his own with:

• A biopic short film
• Merchandise
• Brand deals
• A hotline where fans can literally call and talk to him

He lives inside a hypermedia world inspired by 1970s–80s music culture and Gold Coast nostalgia. And yes… sarcasm and colourful language may be involved. Check out all the reference links below to the show. 

Where the Episode Will Be Seen

The finished film will be part of my speaking and live events exploring the future of AI storytelling.

The project will be:

• Screened at major keynote events in Australia and internationally
• Submitted to film festivals for the 2026–2027 awards cycle
• Used as a demonstration of generative cinema and hypermedia storytelling

What Legend Skills are Needed

This collab is for a self proclaimed legend creator/ studio/ team from anywhere in the world who lives and breathes this new world of GEN Ai who wants their talent to be seen by a global audience. With so many talented generative artists producing remarkable work in a silo that lives primarily on social feeds in a 9:16 and LinkedIn dictated by algorithms, it a crime to creativity. This project offers the chance to take your talent from a feed and to live audiences and industry environments on a big screen.

Your choice of technology stack is open. Whatever program, workflow and process is your kingdom and domain. 

All we need is for you to thrive in:

Generative Video Production
Creating high‑quality AI video sequences.

Advanced Lip Synchronisation
Bruce Ryder is a speaking character with a custom voice.

Character Motion & Performance

Cinematic Thinking
