Director Statement

Our goal with this project is to tell a dramatic story produced using AI tools and a variety of skill sets between the two of us as co-creators. We are in different time zones, spread out halfway around the world from each other, and this project is a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of traditional storytelling and filmmaking using generative AI tools.
