Human direction. Machine imagination.

Hi, I'm Zain Ali Rizvi — a director, creative director and AI filmmaker building films from images that have never existed.

I work across research, writing, storyboards, visual development, image and video generation, and editorial thinking. Each project begins with a story and a problem to solve.

For CLEO, I adapted Cleopatra's history with a research partner and kept her character consistent across a dramatic trailer. For ImagineArt, I developed commercial films and a director facing pilot workflow.

For COLABS Riyadh, I led concept and visual generation for a Saudi coworking campaign, including the challenge of representing brown skin tones accurately.
