AI Video.

Live Action.

If you’re exploring how AI can enhance your video content, let’s talk

With 25+ years directing TV commercials, corporate content and social ads, I’m now also working at the intersection of filmmaking and AI-generated video.

Take a look through some of my recent projects below.
