AI FILMMAKING COURSE
In early 2026, I completed an AI filmmaking course through
Curious Refuge, the world's first home for AI storytellers and creative.
The experience deepened my understanding of AI-driven
storytelling and inspired new approaches to concept development
and visual design.

STORYBOARDS
The storyboards were developed using Adobe Firefly Boards. With the help of Copilot for prompting, I used the Nano Banana 3.1 model to render out stills of each scene to layout the storyboards. Then I generated each video using Google's Veo3. From there I downloaded each clip to assemble the edit using Adobe AfterEffects.
