Cinematic StorytelliNG.

Hybrid Film Artist

I bridge the gap between traditional cinema and generative innovation. My work fuses the emotional depth of classic filmmaking with the infinite possibilities of AI, allowing for rapid visualization, immersive world-building, and high-concept storytelling that feels both timeless and futuristic.

Selected Projects

From traditional craft to generative AI experiments, this portfolio documents a practice that evolves storytelling through collaboration, experimentation, and visual storytelling discipline.

The Sailor of Mount Sinai — Trailer

AI helped me produce this short film. The beauty I learned is to keep AI bound to the script written on the page. Keep the photo original, as a picture of the storyboard. It is like animating the storyboard—reflecting your thoughts as a moving storyboard that turns into a film.

Using AI to keep everything minimal and realistic is the key I hold now.
