I’m excited to share with you a short AI documentary, "Kibomango – A Life in Battle." This powerful film tells the inspiring, yet heartbreaking, story of Kibomango—a former child soldier who overcame the horrors of war to become a boxing champion and a mentor to the youth in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
At the end of the film, I invite you to be part of a meaningful change. William Dupuy is hosting a limited-time sale of impactful photo prints, designed to inspire hope and rebuild lives. Each print purchased helps orphaned children find refuge and a brighter future.
I just wrapped up a short video for the French Prompt Club, with the theme "Miroir." This fun little project was made using a mix of Veo2, MJ, and Kling, primarily sourced from Freepik. AI is a tool that helps elevate your idea: simple, powerful, and true to its purpose to evoke emotion.
