(this is one of my animated short films)
My Gen:48 2nd Edition finalist film and my first real experience working with generative video. I worked with my daughter on the story using Runway Gen-2 for all the video generations. The film explores themes of innocence and perception through a fairy tale (with a twist).
One of my early animated shorts, made with Runway Gen-3. I wanted to explore themes of light, hope, and the lengths we'll go to preserve what matters most. A simple story, but one that felt meaningful to make.

This one’s different — my first real attempt at an animated comedy. Steve is a sarcastic, sophisticated cat with big opinions and a refined palate. He drinks lattes, avoids litter boxes, and judges other cats. I wanted to see if generative AI could sustain a recurring character across episodes. Turns out, it can.
My experiment in psychological horror with Veo 3 (Twighlight Zone style). A man visits a local theater for an ordinary movie night, only to discover the eyes on screen might not be acting. As he returns home, reality begins to blur.
