THE VISIT
The first experiment: can an original story become a finished film through an AI-native production workflow? An end-to-end attempt from screenplay and shot planning through editing and sound.
Original stories. Emerging technology. New possibilities for African cinema.
We are exploring what becomes possible when ambitious African stories are no longer limited by the scale and logistical demands of conventional filmmaking.
The goal is not simply to use AI to make films faster or cheaper, but to explore how emerging technology can expand the scale, richness, and creative range of African storytelling.
3 Films in Catalogue
The first experiment: can an original story become a finished film through an AI-native production workflow? An end-to-end attempt from screenplay and shot planning through editing and sound.
Developing a more repeatable AI-native filmmaking workflow and discovering its limitations. Addressed challenges around character turnaround grids, location consistency, and production design.
An ambitious next step in AI-native filmmaking, exploring character continuity, production design, 3D spatial control in Blender, and emerging visual effects workflows. Based on an original epic fantasy short story.
"AI is the filmmaking technology. It is not the creative director."
The Eighth House develops stories through a deliberately constructed production process rather than relying on generative models to make every creative decision.
Each film is also an experiment. The goal is to identify where AI-native filmmaking works, where it breaks down, and what tools or software processes can make the workflow more controllable and repeatable.
Designing characters, costumes, environments, architecture, and props intentionally before generating a single scene shot.
Building virtual 3D sets in Blender to provide spatial references for AI generation, enforcing camera angle logic across shots.
Exploring remaining challenges in character performance, world consistency at scale, and visual-effects pipelines for supernatural elements.
I’ve been writing fiction independently since 2018, including a novel developed through multiple drafts and short stories shared publicly and reviewed by peers.
My professional background in software engineering and technical writing gave me a second toolkit: building systems, learning new technologies quickly, and solving problems through experimentation.
AI filmmaking brought these two disciplines together.
One filmmaker + emerging AI tools + a growing production workflow.
Develop and produce increasingly ambitious original African films.
A production house bringing together writers, directors, production designers, VFX artists, animators, editors, marketers, and creative specialists.
