First Light
Feature in development
Vera Kane is ninety days from home when the star above her settlement collapses. She turns her ship around to save her brother, knowing every hour near the forming black hole will cost years on Earth—years with her daughter Rue. Guided by AION — her own neural architecture, digitized and running — she makes the choice with open eyes. What she doesn't know is that the life she thinks she's paying away has already happened—and she's the one who gave it.
THE BREAKDOWN
Approach — Trailer Built from a written script, full treatment, production breakdown, and schedule. Executed through a prompt-engineered, agentic, multi-shot workflow, with hero-design character sheets holding consistent across the film's two timelines, and 360° location work anchoring both the deep-space station and the warm domestic feel of Timeline B. Fully generated.
Approach — Feature The feature is designed as a hybrid production. Talent and immediate props captured on stage; world-building, VFX, stunts, and environments generated and integrated in comp. The trailer is the proof of concept for that pipeline at feature scale.
Why it matters A space drama whose ambition—two converging timelines, a connectome-built AI, a closed timelike curve—lives at the scale of a studio feature. The hybrid live-action / AI workflow is how that scale becomes accessible.

RIVER STATIC
In a near future river city, a rebel cell ambushes what they believe is a routine militia weapons shipment. Instead, they uncover a power core meant for something far more dangerous. As a ruthless combat droid closes in, the raid turns into a fight to stop a war before it begins.
Tools & pipeline: Nano Banana, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, ElevenLabs (score and lip sync), Magnific (upscaling), Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve.
Approach: Built from a written script and a full production breakdown—scenes, shots, characters, props—then executed through a prompt-engineered, agentic, multi-shot workflow. Character and prop consistency was held through hero-design character sheets; location consistency was solved with 360° location surveillance, area-select, and upscaling to anchor the world across every shot. Fully generated; no live action.
Why it mattered: One person. Seven days. A finished narrative short with militia, a combat droid, and a river-city war—at a scope and turnaround that would be impossible traditionally.
A TALE AS OLD AS TIME
AI spec spot for Audible. The audience is dropped into a naval battle circa 1600 as pirates storm a British ship. At the climax, the action freezes—a modern man in a headset has to take a call, to the fury of the characters he's left mid-fight. A genre-blending proof of AI-native storytelling for voice/audiobooks.
Tools & pipeline: Nano Banana, Kling 3.0, ElevenLabs (score and lip sync), Magnific (upscaling), Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve.
Approach: Script and full production breakdown built first, then a prompt-engineered pipeline with hero-design character sheets and 360° location work to keep the period naval battle consistent across shots. The hardest problem was tonal: cutting from extreme period action to a modern man on a headset—essentially streaming the story—and landing the genre break as a deliberate "aha" rather than a misfire. Specific prompt engineering carried that beat. Fully generated.
Why it mattered: One person, fourteen days. A genre-blending short whose entire premise—period spectacle interrupted by modern interruption—lives or dies on a tonal pivot that traditional production timelines and budgets rarely allow you to iterate toward.
