My background spans leading animation at major San Francisco agencies, current AI production for Masonry NYC, and work for brands including Microsoft, Google, DreamWorks, Canon, AMD, and Warner Bros.

Featured Work
Auto CES 2026 - GOOGLE.
Brand Film | Automotive AI
As AI Filmmaker on this project, I contributed to a series of cinematic videos produced for Google's CES 2026 debut. The films showcase an intelligent, context-aware vehicle AI built for major OEMs, combining 3D assets with generative video to achieve hyper-realistic environments across scenic routes from Zurich to Geneva. Every shot was researched down to road geometry, seasonal lighting, and sun angles for maximum realism
Porte Italiano - Hazid León.
AI Music Video | Narrative Film
Directed and produced as a cinematic AI music video for Culiacán artist Hazid León. Porte Italiano combines narrative filmmaking, generative AI, Blender previs, and editing, using Seedance, MiniMax H3, and custom production workflows to create a stylized story built around romance, nightlife, action, and escape.
My Brother's New Robot.
Short Film | Horror
Created for the 2025 Curious Refuge and Epidemic Sound Halloween Horror Competition. This short film was written and produced specifically for the contest, combining classic horror tension with modern AI filmmaking to explore the eerie connection between a boy and his artificial companion.
AI’s Worst Enemy: Us.
Short Film | Sci-Fi
This sci-fi short was written and produced to explore humanity’s dark reflection in the technology it creates. Instead of focusing on the fear of artificial intelligence, the story looks inward at the flaws that built it: our division, pride, and obsession with control. It asks whether the real danger lies in the machines we fear or in the people who shaped them, and what happens when human chaos becomes the model for something smarter than us.
NorMod Modular Sauna.
AI Product Video | AI Commercial
AI commercial production for Backcountry Recreation’s NorMod modular outdoor sauna system. The project combines AI filmmaking, product visualization, creative direction, editing, and sound design to showcase 144 possible configurations through a polished, cinematic product video built around customization and personal choice.
