THE QUIET MILE

Director • AI Short Film

  • The Quiet Mile is a cinematic AI-driven short about grief, memory, and learning to move forward, following Nadia as she runs a familiar route once shared with her late husband and is drawn back into fragments of their life together. The process focused on a restrained, emotionally grounded approach using Higgsfield Cinema Studio, Seedance, and Nano Banana for visual development and generation, combined with detailed editing, sound, compositing, and finishing in After Effects. Each shot was built around performance, continuity, composition, pacing, and the contrast between present-day reality and black-and-white memory. The film was entered into the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026, where it has received very positive early responses from viewers and fellow filmmakers, with particular praise for its emotional restraint, visual rhythm, cinematography, and storytelling. The result is a quiet, human-centered film that uses AI as part of the production process while keeping character, emotion, and visual storytelling at the center.

GOD OF SCIENCE VOL. I

God of Science Vol. I Teaser is a grounded noir AI short set in 1980's Los Angeles that explores legacy, power, and the symbolism of the ankh, the “key of life.” The challenge was building a cinematic, emotionally restrained world using generative tools while maintaining realism, strong visual storytelling, and brand-level polish. I built custom workflows across Veo, Kling, Midjourney, Photohop, After Effects, focusing on tone, composition, and subtle visual effects rather than spectacle. The result is a cohesive proof-of-concept that feels intentional, immersive, and ready to expand into a larger narrative universe.

The main title design was created using traditional motion design tools rather than AI. I designed the typography in Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects, using bevel, lighting, and textured treatments to give the type an ancient, dimensional feel that reflects the mythology behind the story. Subtle layers of Egyptian hieroglyphics move slowly in the background, adding atmosphere while the title reveals in a strong cinematic way.
