What If?

Yo, it’s ReignWithWill. The Blurred Show asks the questions you didn’t know you needed to answer. Here’s one for you: Sobriety is illegal. No sober mornings. No dry nights. Could you survive in a world where everyone is constantly under the influence? I want your takes — reply, comment, debate. The...

That could be a hit movie/show, William Crudup. You said sobriety is illegal, so I'd go to prison, and I'm not going to prison. I'd go on the run.

Maurice Vaughan

Actually, now that I think about it, William Crudup, I could survive in that world, but I wouldn't be able to live a normal life.

I think it depends on how severely the brain is affected by this prolonged period of intoxication.

Everyone would need long-term psychological treatment for their addiction.

The real problem is that i...

Coming out of retirement

Is it common for actors, writers, and directors and producers to come out of retirement to complete a project, for any kind of reason?

LIfe Makes Nonsense

This piece came from a simple thought — that life makes no sense, no matter where you are in the world.

The first part is in European languages.

The second part in Asian languages.

And the third — a deliberate mix of both, showing how confusion, humor, and wonder belong to all of us.

The phrase “Li...

Another One Due

New Song: Another One Due

Sometimes a song just arrives fully formed. The phrase “another one due” popped into my mind, and before I knew it, I had a full-blown satirical gospel tune about a preacher who’s a little too focused on his next mortgage payment and private jet!

“Another One Due” is a tongu...

Hi Brent,

That's fantastic—congratulations on getting "Another One Due" out there! A satirical gospel tune about mixing faith and high finances sounds absolutely brilliant. I definitely enjoy satire in...

I've written things that made me laugh out loud while writing them, Wyman Brent, like something a character says.

Wyman Brent

Salisu Abdullahi, thank you so very much. More than one of my songs uses satire. However, I never really think about what I am writing until the song is done. I do not even know the song`s title until...

Maurice Vaughan, exactly. I have had the same with some of my songs and with some of my scripts.

Salisu Abdullahi

Hi Brent,

That's fascinating! The fact that you don't even know the song's title until the tune is finished really speaks to the pure, uninhibited creative process you have—letting the material lead th...

Inspiration That Never Fades: George Jones and the Songs He Stirred in Me

I was lucky enough to see George Jones perform three times in my life. Each time felt like standing in the presence of living history — that unmistakable voice, that ache in every syllable, and the way he could take a simple li...

Disney Christmas Wish

One of my Christmas wishes is to share my ideas with Disney, they make a lot of good Christmas movies, shows and specials.

Does anyone know any agents or managers who worked with Disney or have connections to Disney? I would appreciate it, and it would make my Christmas dreams come true.

Why are you popular?

You don’t really know how to handle this bodiless, intangible crap — ‘cause it’s just a word with no monetization behind it.

So what if you’ve got “influence”? You don’t make a dime from it. You’re just hoping for a pity donation from some kid who borrowed his mom’s credit card for a sec.

So here’s...

Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors, 1533, (oil on oak)

Nobody really knows what this painting means. I interpret it as a commentary on death - remain humble even if you're intelligent. Supposedly the skull becomes clearly visibly when you view the painting from a certain angle.

A little update:

This week the director sent me the photos he wants for the poster of his short film.

I'll start working on them and let you know the final result. I'm very excited.

And how are the graphic designs for your films going? :D

Ciao!

Every continent has had its storytelling moment. Africa’s is coming — and it will sound like rhythm, truth, and chaos.

I keep thinking about how the world once looked west for stories, then turned east and found Korea.

When it finally turns south, it will find Africa — raw, layered, and unfiltered. The next global rhythm isn’t just in the music; it’s in our stories.
