FILM.
IMAGE.
ALGORITHM.

Filmmaker, writer, illustrator, musician and builder of production systems for AI cinema.

The craft doesn't die. It changes tools. From celluloid to pixel, from pen to prompt: the soul remains the only camera.

Behind the camera / CCS

Before the node,
there was the set.

My work with generative systems begins from filmmaking, not from software.

The camera, the edit, the actor, the silence before a take — that is still the grammar underneath everything I build. IAMCCS tools grow from production problems I first learned to recognise on set: how to hold intention across time, how to preserve continuity, and how to keep technology in service of a human gaze.

About the work
Selected worlds / 2026

One practice.
Different instruments.

01 / Cinema

A volte nel buio
Sometimes in the Dark

A feature film born from independent production: coming-of-age, dark imagination, memory and transformation.

02 / AI Cinema

IAMCCS

Shotboards, continuity systems, custom ComfyUI nodes, long-form video, audio and editorial tools built for production rather than demos.

AI Cinema as direction

Film direction, visual authorship and generative systems treated as one production practice — from shot design to editorial structure.

Long video generation

Continuity beyond one shot

Shotboards, positioned guides, latent continuity, audio state and long-form workflows for MiniMax H3, LTX and generative video.

Long video workflows
Local image generation + editing

Local-first image tools

ComfyUI-based generation and professional image editing around user-owned models, local hardware and goyAIcanvas Advanced.

Local image tools
“Cinema is where time stops running and begins to listen.” Image, sound, code and drawing remain parts of the same authored gesture.

Current focus / IAMCCS

Direct the timeline, not just the frame.

Current IAMCCS work treats generative cinema as a production system: authored shot planning, model-specific direction, audiovisual continuity, timeline-aware generation and editorial handoff.

Research / Optical language

Cinema is not resolution.

Generative images often reward total visibility: uniform sharpness, cleaned noise, perfect detail. My research moves in the opposite direction — toward optical character, controlled imperfection and image-form as cinematic language.
