Darren Costa
@darrencosta
AI filmmaker and generative artist for Fox Nation, Paramount, and Blumhouse; turns scripts into visual sequences.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
For Fox Nation, I produced a trailer for Jack Carr Presents: Carlos the Jackal, a three-part documentary. I’ve also worked on AI filmmaking and animation for Paramount’s Prosecuting Evil and Blumhouse’s Dark Nature.
At Gennie Studio, I translated scripts, briefs, and producer notes into storyboards, shot plans, photorealistic stills, and AI-generated motion. I managed assigned sequences through visual development, animation, editing, quality control, and delivery.
I maintained character, wardrobe, location, and shot continuity with reference libraries, structured prompts, and iterative visual-development workflows. I also directed generated performance and shot behavior, then refined sequences using producer feedback in Frame.io and ClickUp.
Earlier, in independent film and TV production, I contributed across writing, producing, editing, and camera departments. I authored original and commissioned feature-length screenplays and provided script-doctoring and rewrite services.
