Priority Seat
A hostile teenager and an elderly war veteran share a few silent minutes at a Welsh bus stop. Adapted from something my dad saw on his way to work.
AI filmmaker for short films and branded stories
I write, direct and finish narrative films and branded stories, with every frame made in AI. The cast, the locations and the rain are generated. Whether you care about any of it comes down to the story, and that's the part I've been doing for twenty years.
Priority Seat is a three minute drama about a teenager and a war veteran at a Welsh bus stop, adapted from something my dad saw on his way to work. It has won four festival awards, including Best Director and Best Super Short Film at the Cannes World Film Festival.
A branded film runs the same way. I start with the story on paper, lock the look in stills, generate the shots, then cut, score and grade it. You deal with one person from the first call to the final master.
What you get
- Script, shot list and animatic
- Finished film, graded and mixed
- Cut-downs for social
- Poster, stills and a press kit

FAQ
Good questions
How long can an AI film be?
As long as the story holds. Priority Seat is 3 minutes 46, and longer pieces are possible. The limits are usually the edit and the budget for generations.
Does it look like AI?
It shouldn't. Most of the craft is throwing away the takes that do, then finishing the rest properly in the grade.
