A 72-hour hackathon, very little sleep and even less sunlight.

That was my weekend taking part in the fal × Sequoia video hackathon, where I created 3-3-3: a short film about a mother and her two children whose joyful summer’s day takes a terrifying turn. 🚤🌊

3-3-3 pulling off a tone shift from joyful to terrifying inside a 72 hour hackathon is genuinely impressive, and the black and white grading sells it. How much of the twist did you have mapped out before you started shooting versus discovering it as you edited?

What transforms AI-generated assets into meaningful creative work?

I created a short cinematic vertical ad for the Envato challenge.

I really like the challenge theme because it reflects something I strongly believe: AI is a powerful creative tool, but it's the human behind the creative vision, direction, and decision-making that elevates the final result.

For this entry, I directed the entire creative process, from developing the concept, selecting the right stock assets, creating AI-generated visuals, color grading, and assembling the final ad.

For this challenge, I created KUMO, a playful toy brand from scratch 🧸✨

I designed the toy characters, developed the branding, created custom mockups, and designed a website to bring the whole world together. I used Envato throughout the creative process for visuals, assets, experimentation, and refinement, while Suno helped me create the background music 🎵

From the toys to the website, I wanted every detail to feel playful, cohesive, and part of the same nostalgic world.

The weight of the past is the only passenger left in his car. I wanted to capture the exact moment where guilt turns into a haunting. This film tells the story of a man consumed by darkness after losing his family in a car accident, a lingering, tragic memory that follows him through every mile.
