Best-selling author @DARRENHARDY (The Compound Effect) asked me to create a Mission Impossible-style trailer for his Fortune 1000 clients.
Jumps, rooftops, helicopters — full action-flick energy.

Access to @topazlabs ASTRA and it is BOLD! This is a clip from our film NEXT STOP PARIS - AI characters who talk and act in a story with a surprise twist ending, made 6 months ago (which is like 1973 in AI). Watch the full version here: youtube.com/watch?v=Bqh0Pkj-…
WATCH my film from TCL Studios: NEXT STOP PARIS.
Yes, this is AI, based on real actors' performances that we filmed. Hired 80 visual artists to bring to life a script I wrote/directed using a new bag of tools not to replace, but to empower filmmakers. youtu.be/Bqh0Pkj-JN0
