SPOILER ALERT! Some spoilers from book #1 and #2 are in this episode. Recommended to read first if you'd like a spoiler free read through.

This episode takes you behind the scenes of the new Kickstarter video for The Dreams of Phillip Aisling. If you have ever created something and put it out into the world only to have strangers call it lazy, this conversation is for you.

We explore what it really takes to direct a fully coherent, emotionally meaningful sequence of twenty-four scenes using modern AI video tools. Spoiler: it is far from easy. Most people never see the weeks of human intention, iteration, editing, story alignment, and creative problem solving behind a project like this.

Parents, teachers, and librarians will especially appreciate this deep dive. We talk about how the video connects to Phillip’s journey in Book 1, why each scene was chosen, and how these tools give independent creators a way to finally show the worlds they have been building for years. You will also hear how this process aligns with the core philosophy of the Aisling series: awareness, intention, and the ability to shape your own reality.

The Kickstarter for Book 2 is already fully funded, and there are only two days left to get early bird rewards and free U.S. shipping. Your pre-order directly supports a story written by a human, shaped by almost two decades of imagination, and brought to life with care.
