Justin Hackney

Justin Hackney is co-founder of Wonder Studios. He spent three weeks putting mischief 1 to work inside Dream Canvas, his custom-built app where AI agents help a story take shape from branching takes. In TBC’s benchmark, mischief 1 ran 12x faster and cost 88% less than the base model, Wan 2.2. Justin saw it in practice: 2,511 clips in three weeks for $125.55, at about 16 seconds a clip. His takeaway: when takes are this fast and this cheap, you stop rationing and start exploring.
