Strategic problem-solving isn't always about what you can see.
Sometimes, it’s about the variables you have to feel.
The Infinite Hallway is a classic test of lateral thinking: Three switches, three bulbs, and one sealed room. You are allowed exactly one trip to find the solution.
In systems architecture, we often face "black box" scenarios where the connection between the input and the result is invisible. To solve them, we have to look for the secondary data—the heat, the friction, and the intangible impact.
Most people guess. The Architect calculates.
I’m launching A Piece of Mind to explore these logic sequences through a cinematic lens. If you value high-level deduction and the intersection of AI-driven media and strategy, follow along for the next sequence.
The solution is in the glow.

Very excited to enter Runway Big Pitch Contest for a chance to win $50k
The goal was to make a trailer for a show that does not yet exist using Runway's AI tools. I really thought of a show that I would watch myself or share with others that is not just another futuristic sci-fi.
UNMASKED is what I came up with. This is a documentary interview series that gives a platform to former mascots, as actual living creatures, as well as the performers and characters behind some of the most visible but least considered jobs in sports and entertainment. This show is supposed to be serious, but also sort of like a parody with a bit of irony here and there due to how ridiculous some of these stories can get.
Each episode would sit one subject down in an interview room and ask them what they witnessed. The format is intentional and stripped back.
One room. One subject. One camera. New character every episode.
I really enjoyed working on this trailer. From brainstorming, script writing, character sketching, locking in room setting to a full storyboard, generating, editing, color grading, and human voice overs.
All of that to present this 1 minute 40 second trailer.
All AI generated.
Would you watch it? 🚀

amazing visual
I used Claude for two very different things this weekend:
✦ building an interactive effect for my website
✦ planning the construction of a piece of furniture I want to build on my balcony
And this is exactly why AI feels so exciting to me!
Digital world
Physical world
Same creative brain
Same need to turn an idea into something that works
This is why I find AI genuinely useful. Not as a magic button, but as a translation layer between imagination and execution
Context is everything. You can have the best tech in the world, but without that deep community knowledge, the automation and design won't hit the mark. It’s all about turning those years of context into a seamless journey for the creator. Great take!
