@luisservera
I direct branded films and GenAI productions from concept through finishing.
What I'm looking for
I lead branded films, documentaries, animation and GenAI production at Digital Bodega, taking work from concept and script through delivery. My recent work includes NBCUniversal’s Turnaround Arts: California and Bundles of Joy: Be a Joy Maker, as well as Red Bull’s MenaRD documentaries.
I founded Coat Studio to combine filmmaking craft with hands-on generative AI experimentation. I wrote, storyboarded, directed and edited The Hunted, a fully GenAI short film, and created an AI-generated replacement prop for Harry’s using Nano Banana Pro and Figma Weave.
I bring 15+ years in advertising, branded content and production, with experience across Unreal Engine, ComfyUI and video-to-video workflows. I’ve led and mentored creative teams, and my work has received Gold and Silver Telly Awards.
