Naoki Naha is an AI-driven film director and music video creator based in Japan, known for exploring new forms of visual storytelling through the integration of generative AI technologies.

I focus on expanding the boundaries of cinematic expression by merging human-driven creative direction with the efficiency and versatility of AI-based production tools.

I am also the creator of AIVY°, an AI-born girl group project that blends narrative filmmaking, music production, and world-building. In 2025, my film featuring AIVY° was selected as a Finalist and Award-winning entry at the AI Film Festival Japan 2025, gaining recognition for its innovative approach to character-driven storytelling, visual continuity, and music integration. The project has since gained traction across global platforms, being promoted through YouTube, X (Twitter), TikTok, and international film communities.

With no formal background in filmmaking and only months of experience using generative AI, I have rapidly developed a distinctive style defined by dynamic camera compositions, futuristic aesthetics, and emotionally driven narratives. My production workflow integrates multiple AI tools—image generation, video synthesis, motion design, and AI-assisted editing—while ensuring that artistic intent, directorial judgment, and narrative direction remain firmly guided by human creativity.

My growing body of work includes short films, concept trailers, experimental visuals, and an expanding catalog of AI-generated music videos. I aim to demonstrate how AI can democratize creativity, empowering individual creators to produce large-scale visual works that once required full production teams.

Through each project, I continue to refine my methods, exploring the evolving relationship between technology and human imagination. My mission is to contribute to the evolution of next-generation visual art, where AI enhances—not replaces—creative expression.
