I’m a visual storyteller working at the intersection of film and AI video creation. I turn scripts and creative briefs into photorealistic, cinematic sequences using multi-model workflows, with a strong focus on character consistency, visual continuity, and production-ready delivery. Alongside AI, I’m driven by narrative and craft—screenwriting, direction, and editing. I’ve directed short films, contributed to international festival projects, and I’m currently directing an independent documentary in Serbia.
