Isaac is an award-winning film director, producer, and writer from Houston, Texas, celebrated for his bold storytelling and innovative vision. His filmmaking journey began with a fascination for magic and adventure, winning a first-grade contest for designing a newspaper hat inspired by Indiana Jones and performing magic tricks for classmates by third grade. In 2015, Isaac launched the No Sleep film channel, where viral shorts like The Cop Cam and Face Swap garnered millions of views and over 70 awards. He went on to direct twelve feature films, including Deadware, Last Radio Call, and The Astral Woods, all of which secured worldwide distribution. For years, Isaac worked as a one-man band, writing, shooting, directing, and editing his films with relentless passion. In 2021, he founded Silent Raven Films to push creative boundaries and explore new frontiers in storytelling. Today, Isaac is a leader in AI-powered video production, using artificial intelligence to craft visually stunning, immersive narratives. To him, AI is not just a tool but a gateway to unfiltered imagination, free from budget and equipment limitations. Whether through film, photography, or AI visuals, his dedication to storytelling remains unwavering. Isaac fuels his creativity by immersing himself in foreign films, diving into obscure topics, and obsessing over ideas until they come to life. If he weren’t an AI artist, he’d likely be a photographer, forever captivated by capturing fleeting moments. Looking ahead, Isaac envisions AI becoming an integral tool in filmmaking, with studios seamlessly incorporating it into their workflows. As technology continues to evolve, so will the possibilities for storytelling, and Isaac is ready to embrace the future, one frame at a time.

Florian is a director, AI artist, and storyteller based in Bonn, Germany, where he lives with his wife and two sons. With a background in advertising, Florian spent over a decade as a Creative Director at global agencies, crafting successful international campaigns before transitioning into filmmaking. His work spans commercials, documentaries, viral content, and webisodes, always driven by a passion for storytelling that resonates and inspires. Florian’s creative curiosity extends beyond film. His Twitter project, Tiny Tales, won the prestigious Grimme Online Award and later became a best-selling book. In 2019, he turned four of these micro-stories into short films for his MICRO MOVIES project, which was billed as the world’s shortest feature films and earned recognition at international festivals. As AI tools gained prominence, Florian embraced the technology as a new creative medium, generating AI-driven stills and films that push the boundaries of visual storytelling. His AI-powered spec trailer for Sony PlayStation VR became a finalist at the Project Odyssey AI Film Awards, securing his place at the cutting edge of this emerging field. At the core of Florian’s work is a love for collaboration—meeting new people, exchanging ideas, and creating something extraordinary together. He draws inspiration from the world around him, whether by observing strangers and imagining their stories or engaging in long conversations with his wife, a novelist who is both his toughest critic and greatest supporter. While fascinated by AI, Florian remains deeply connected to traditional filmmaking and envisions a future where human creativity, both in front of and behind the camera, thrives alongside AI-driven innovation. He imagines a hybrid era where technology enhances storytelling without replacing its soul. Florian is a member of the Art Directors Club of Germany and the German Commercial Film Academy.

Mads explores the intersection of human vision and machine intelligence, constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity. With over a decade of experience in film production, digital media, and content strategy, he has honed the skills needed to craft powerful stories from development through post-production, now with AI at the forefront. His work has been showcased at the Hayward Gallery’s Art Night, Lumiere Cinema, and beyond, covering diverse fields like fashion, tech, sustainability, and culture. Mads has collaborated with brands such as Coca-Cola, Pandora, the Norwegian Seafood Council, and DR, while also shooting and editing editorial and documentary films for VICELAND, VICE, MUNCHIES, NOISEY, and VOX. As a filmmaker, editor, and DOP, Mads’ journey into AI-driven creativity began out of both curiosity and necessity. He believed that if new tools were going to shape the future of filmmaking, it was better to embrace them than resist. What began as an experiment—transforming a walk through Frederiksberg Garden with his son into an AI-enhanced visual story—quickly became a creative obsession. Now, Mads is focused on how generative AI can expand the possibilities of storytelling, production, and post-production, particularly for independent creators. For Mads, AI is not a shortcut; it’s a tool that unlocks new creative frontiers while keeping human ingenuity at the core. His biggest creative partner, Emil Walder at Gobsmack, has played a vital role in pushing his AI exploration forward, especially through their “Human Touch” film. Mads believes two minds are always better than one. Outside of work, Mads enjoys losing himself in films, books, games, and history, but nothing compares to spending time outdoors with his son and girlfriend. AI is evolving rapidly, and while he believes it will become a mainstay in creative production, he also thinks it will spark a renewed appreciation for purely human-made content, much like how digital music made people value vinyl again. For now, Mads is excited to be part of this journey and to witness it unfold.
