Studios & IP holders
Adopt AI safely and at scale across the studio and its supply chain, with the governance, prioritization, and production fluency to make it real.
I sit across from the world's directors, producers, actors, and artists, and the studios, labels, and brands behind them. I promise them the impossible, then deliver it. On time, on budget, at the highest quality and the highest stakes.
I trade in trust, accountability, and results.
A selection. Visual effects executive on dozens of the biggest films of the past three decades.
Three of those films, Titanic, What Dreams May Come, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. The artists earned those statuettes. My job was to lead the teams and clear the path so they could deliver. It has been the privilege of my career to do this work beside some of the most talented filmmakers, artists, and technologists in the world.
The technology is rarely the hard part. Adoption is.
The winners are not the ones with the best model. They are the ones who get frontier capability working inside real teams, real pipelines, and real rights constraints, without breaking trust with the artists who matter most. That gap is where this work lives.
Building, buying, funding, or betting on AI-driven production?
That is the conversation. Board roles, strategic advisory, and diligence for studios, AI labs, and investors.
