PRODUCTION

Every project on this page was built through AI.Director.Toolset - my own AI production intelligence system I designed for agent-driven filmmaking.

The system has three layers: a cinematographic knowledge base (20 wiki files grounded in Murch, Bordwell, Chion, Pearlman theories + 23 AI model prompting guides), a modular project Bible (8 structured documents covering style, characters, world, sound, tech), and a production pipeline that generates scripts in industry standart, storyboards, frame-accurate timelines, dialogue sheets, and NLE-ready XML — all from a single concept brief.

LETTERS FROM RIVIERA

An animated vertical miniseries (12 episodes, 9:16) set in a fictional French Riviera village, summer 1962. A young mail carrier inherits her father's route — and finds in his old bag an unmarked envelope hiding three generations of silence.

Gouache illustration style. Each episode is a standalone letter-story that mirrors the central father-daughter relationship.

Full pre-production — from concept through 12-episode arc, character sheets, visual style matrices, sound design briefs, and episode-level storyboards — built entirely through AI.Director.Toolset.

TESLA.RESONANCE

A vertical animated series (10 × 3 min, 9:16) about Nikola Tesla — inventor, visionary, and a man who died alone in a hotel room with a pigeon as his only companion.

In 2012, I was creative producer of a docudrama about Tesla that sold internationally and won multiple awards, including Cannes Corporate Gold and Houston Platinum. The story stayed with me — along with everything I wanted to show but couldn't, limited by budget, time, and the technology of that era.

Now, generative AI makes that vision possible. RESONANCE reimagines Tesla's life through two visual modes - documentary realism and sci-fi - shifting between the man's daily struggle and the world as he perceived it.

51 shots in pilot episode, concept to Premiere-ready XML in one working session through AI.Director.Toolset.

MARS COLONY HIGH

An animated sci-fi series set in the first Martian high school, 2089. A group of teenagers born on Mars — the first generation that has never seen Earth — navigate rivalries, first loves, and identity crises 225 million kilometers from anyone who could help. The colony needs them to become engineers and scientists. They just want to figure out who they are.

The project was first presented at Cartoon Forum in Lille, France in 2019, originally designed around Unreal Engine real-time animation. Years later, new generative technologies have reopened the production approach — making it possible to achieve the visual ambition.

In active development.
