Fun Factory
A surreal, slapstick-infused exploration of ambition and betrayal through the eyes of silent film star Mabel Normand. Brought back to life on stage, Mabel fights to realize her creative vision while clashing with a patriarchal system. Both a celebration and critique, the play highlights her brilliance, heartbreak, and enduring legacy, reminding us of the overlooked women who shaped Hollywood's early days.

The projection booth
AI
I came up through performance and painting. Everything I make starts with my artistic instinct and works outward from what story I am telling. AI didn't change that. It changed what I can build around it.
In Fun Factory the projection screen was a rotating vanity mirror, and silent film footage shared the stage with live actors. Ice Man is the same instinct with new tools: real performances, AI bodies and locations, a caveman in a Los Angeles loft. The technology is stagecraft. The story is still the point.
With Adore Creative, I run AI production the way I'd run a crew: a roster of artists matched to what each one does best, a design bible before anyone generates a frame, and a director who looks at every shot. What's on this wall is the work that I have made solo and with a team.

Under the Hood
How I run AI production: the people, the tracking, and the loop that gets shots from brief to cut.
The people layer
The work is only as good as the people generating it. I keep a roster of more than thirty AI artists around the world, with interns supporting each team, and I've carried their work into four industry markets and a prestige series pitch.
Nobody is great at everything. Some artists do monsters and wild imagery brilliantly and struggle with a simple realistic scene. So the roster is built slowly: scouting self-published work, testing people on small tasks, keeping the ones who are reliable on quality and speed, and matching each artist to the shots they're actually good at.
The tracker
Every shot gets a name, an artist, a task, a status and a review time. The name is the whole system: project, shot, version, date.
| Shot | Artist | Task | Status | Next review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICEMAN_012_v03_51426 | Artist A | Loft interior, caveman crosses to fridge | Generating | Wed 2 pm |
| ICEMAN_014_v01_51426 | Artist B | Street run, palms, golden hour | Awaiting revisions | Wed 2 pm |
| ICEMAN_009_v04_51326 | Artist C | CCTV fisheye, living room | Approved for cut | In edit |
| ICEMAN_017_v02_51426 | Artist A | Ice block close-up, breath fog | Awaiting revisions | Thu 11 am |
| ICEMAN_021_v01_51526 | Artist D | Roommates, three-shot, morning light | Generating | Thu 11 am |
Fictionalized rows. Real naming.
The loop
- BriefWhat we're delivering, for whom, by when, and what good looks like.
- Design bibleCharacters, locations, grade, cameras and the project's style, agreed and written down before anyone generates a frame.
- Assign by skillsetShots go to the artist who has already proven they can do that kind of shot.
- Generate and QCArtists produce. I look at everything before it goes wider than me.
- Revise, then cutRevision rounds are agreed up front. Approved shots go straight into the edit.
- Editorial round tripsThe editor asks for more or different shots during assembly, and the loop runs again, smaller.
