AI FILM

Confession time: I’ll admit it, I was skeptical. AI can pull off crazy explosions, aliens fighting crocodiles, even Moses on a surfboard. But real intimacy? As a director, my personal cinematic approach is human, intimate, real. I never thought I could get close with AI. But I decided to embrace it and give it a try, *my way*.

This is my first attempt. 100% AI generated.

Big shoutout to Rourke Sefton-Minns, PJ Accetturo, and Simon Meyer. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice!

As I worked on this, I noticed many people dismiss AI as useful only for stock-style, generic images. And I get why... Because no matter how good this tool is, you still need a vision behind the prompts. AI can generate incredible images, but it takes storytellers to shape them into something meaningful.

I’m sure some of you will spot little flaws here and there, and that’s okay. In the end, I realize it’s less about making it perfect and more about making it *personal*.

Now I’m curious:

Which character’s your favorite? Do any look suspiciously familiar?

And if you want to know more about the prompts, DM me. I’m happy to share!
