BANISHED 📗🐦‍⬛
I’m excited to finally present BANISHED, the film that follows KITSUNE and a project that pushed me even further in consistency, world-building, and forging a deeper connection with the subject. Somewhere between Monte Cristo and The Pied Piper, this is a story where good and evil aren’t so easily defined. It’s a tale of vengeance (almost), but more than that, it’s a story about facing your own demons. About the Film Growing up, I never really found my place. I was the kid listening to grunge, alternative, and later metal—always feeling like I didn’t quite fit, always searching for people who got it. Even beyond music, finding my spot was always hard, and I know I’m far from being alone in that. Maybe that’s why I was drawn to this story—to create something that echoes that feeling of being on the outside, looking in. For those asking—yes, this is 100% VEO2 (text-to-image) for the shots, Eleven Labs for voice, Udio for music, MMaudio & various sound libraries for atmosphere, with Screenflow, Photoshop, and a mess of tools in between. A few hundred hours, lots of workarounds, plenty of patience, but also a lot of interesting “ah-ha” moments. As a side note, a few days ago, I saw a discussion about how cinema doesn’t look like cinema anymore, and how the push for hyper-preserved details in deep blacks and bright whites, new CGI workflows, combined with a lack of risk-taking from studios or directors, has flattened the identity of modern films. Art direction has always been the biggest part of my artistic life, and if there’s one thing I value in AI, it’s the ability to take risks, blend aesthetics, experiment, and find something new.

Although I wasn’t initially meant to design, and even less so for the web, I am now the Design Director and co-founder of Dogstudio, an international award-winning firm dedicated to design, technology, and everything in between. Over the last decade, I’ve worked to cultivate a design culture focused on quality, emotion, and a keen attention to detail. This approach has led to national and international collaborations with renowned organizations such as The New York Times, Hulu, Microsoft, The Kennedy Center Washington, The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, The Navy Pier, Rappi, and many others.
