AI Filmmaking and Emerging Media
AI is a tool - story comes first. My work focuses on using these technologies to enhance performance and narrative. Using emerging tools and hybrid workflows, I create short-form content and proof-of-concept pieces designed for scalable, episodic production. My focus is on maintaining strong character and story while leveraging AI to expand whats possible in storytelling.
