VEGA
ai native film trailer
While at bully! entertainment, I was fortunate to direct VEGA, an AI-native trailer about a near future where climate change has been solved, and AI has handed humanity endless leisure time, and the lethal, glamorous XG Games that rule the culture. VEGA follows Jaxon, who spends his days docking cargo and his nights glued to the Games. He has no idea he has a special set of skills, or that death wouldn't stop him.
I took it from a simple idea to a finished trailer, building a vast world along the way. I wrote the script, shaped the story, and guided the design through characters, environments, props, sequences, sound, edit, and a marketing poster, all inside Cascade Studio's end-to-end production platform.
Like every new tool, it’s ultimately the human ideas, taste, and heaps (and even more heaps) of decisions that shape a good story. What impressed me most about the Cascade platform is that it’s clearly designed by filmmakers, for filmmakers, and enabled multiple hands to bring an original idea to life.
