I’ve had a deep passion for creating art since childhood, starting with drawing and clay sculpting, which have always been my side hobbies. This love for hands-on creativity has shaped how I approach storytelling, both in visual effects and filmmaking.
Five years ago, I felt strongly about AI, which kept me awake at night.
AI wasn’t part of our everyday lives at the time, but I felt the urgency to warn people about what was coming. I began writing the script, dedicating two hours a day for a year. After polishing it, I completed a 170-page script, which I registered with the Library of Congress. After the script was finished, I began shooting some key shots for the feature film, which I’ll be sharing soon. While this short film is only partly related to that larger story, it comes from the same drive to share that crucial message.
This short started as a warm-up to test my skills and see how I handled pressure. But it quickly became clear that this project was much more. With the help of some of the best people I know, my friends, and using my own savings, we did everything possible to make the most of a low-budget production. I believe that quality is key to having an impact, especially on younger audiences. In sci-fi, the visuals are just as important as the message.
To optimize time and budget, I took on the challenge of building nearly everything myself, from the set pieces and walls to the lights and the entire lighting setup. It was hard work, but I had a goal that kept me going. I believe that by doing my job right, this film can help people see the future in a better light, offering a fresh perspective on what lies ahead.
/I’d like to note that this short was created entirely with traditional VFX and practical shooting. No AI was involved in the production./
