Director & AI Filmmaker | Animation, Storyboards & Cinematic Video

I’m a Director, Filmmaker and Animation professional with 18 years of experience across film, television, animation and advertising. My credits include work on productions for Netflix, HBO Max and Sony Pictures, including One Piece, Raised by Wolves and Escape Room 2. I combine traditional filmmaking, directing, story development and visual storytelling with the latest AI production tools to create cinematic work from concept through final delivery. My work includes AI films, commercials, trailers, storyboards, visual development and animation, with a strong focus on storytelling, performance and cinematic production value. Whether you have a finished brief or an idea that still needs developing, I can help shape the concept, establish the visual direction and take it through production to the finished film. Available for directing, AI filmmaking, animation, storyboarding and visual development.
