Approach

AI as a tool. Not a gimmick.

  • Judgment first

    Strategy starts with the problem and the people. Models come second.

  • Craft, accelerated

    We use AI to move faster on work that already needs taste—film, curriculum, narrative software.

  • No theater

    Clear recommendations. Working prototypes. Products that ship without the slide deck haze.

Work

Films & brand video

AI-assisted cinematic scenes and brand films. Roughly $10K and about two days for a recruiting or brand spot.

Filmmaking

Cinematic scenes

Short narrative beats and atmospheric scenes produced with AI-assisted pipelines—keyed for brand films and recruiting spots.

Brand video

Decatur Foundry recruiting spot

A 56-second recruiting film for a legacy gray-iron foundry. Spec concept—not a commissioned client deliverable.

Education

MindyRoad

Grades 4–8 homeschool curriculum built around conversational lessons—guided conversation, not “ask a question, get an answer.” Students talk by voice or type. A focused two-hour school day: four 30-minute lessons. ESA-eligible in AZ, AR, TX, UT, NH, and LA. Its AI tutor stays inside the lesson flow.

Writing

PlotPins

Novel and screenplay planning software. An AI coach that guides—and never writes for you. Concept, outline, board, then draft.

Content

Cell Video

Short-form and cellular video content generation—built for teams that need a steady stream of clips without a full production crew. Available as a Brooklyn West Labs offering.

Consulting

AI strategy, without the haze

Short engagements on where AI helps your craft—and where it does not. Practical recommendations, not slide theater.
