Case Study

AI Short Films - The Underworld AI Studios.

ROLE: Writing, Storyboarding, AI Visual Design, Prompt Crafting, Animation Direction, Editing, Sound Design, Post-Production

Underworld AI is a collection of original, writer-driven AI films that mix satire, science fiction, and modern mythology. Every story starts with my own writing and structure. Once the foundation is there, I bring in AI tools to help visualize it. Projects like My Brother’s New Robot, AI’s Worst Enemy, Drone Wars, and the Mark Zuckerberg Parody all share one thing in common: the writing comes first. I create the scripts, tone, and pacing myself because AI still can’t capture real human voice or emotional timing. In these shorts, AI is not the storyteller. It’s the stage where my ideas come to life in bold, cinematic form.

I create each short film under Underworld AI using a constantly evolving workflow that adapts to the newest AI tools as soon as they launch. I use MidJourney for visual development, and image-to-video generators like Kling, VEO-3, and WAN 2.5. In addition, I test emerging platforms such as NanoBanana and Luma Labs the moment they go live to stay ahead of the curve. I combine multiple AI systems with my own editing, pacing, and direction to create cohesive, cinematic results that push the limits of what’s possible in AI filmmaking.


A cocky young vlogger gets the robot he always wanted, but when his cruel pranks push it too far, the tables turn, and his final upload may cost him his life. Created for the 2025 Curious Refuge and Epidemic Sound Halloween Horror Film Competition, this short blends classic suspense with modern AI storytelling.


AI’s Worst Enemy: Us is a gritty docu-style short that imagines humanity’s war with rogue AI. From mechs and drones to massive war machines in the sky, it’s not just about the fight against technology. It’s about the darker truth, the lengths humans will go, and what we’re willing to become, in order to survive.


World War III: Rise of the Drone War drops viewers into a future where nations no longer send soldiers to battle, only screens. Controlled by Gen Z pilots from orbiting command stations, drones and mechs fight for dominance while propaganda floods every feed. It’s a war fought through bandwidth and algorithms, where the line between gamer and soldier disappears, and the future of humanity depends on who stays online the longest.
