I’m obsessed with the new creative tools powered by artificial intelligence. These are some experiments I’ve conducted that show the potential and the shortcomings of this technology.
using all artificial intelligence generated imagery and audio. software: RESTYLE , RUNWAY , STARRYAI, LOOPSIE , MAGIC PAINTBRUSH, REDRAW, VLLO, SOUNDRAW, ADOBE PREMIERE
RunwayML was used with detailed prompts and reference stills to create 23 4sec clips of A.i.- generated video which were then edited in VLLO and Adobe Premiere. Audio from The Netherland short film "Solstice" was later added along with library music and score from the film. This is a trailer for the in-development TV series based on my short stories set in the world of THE NETHERLAND.

My second documentary-- LA Fabri_K (The Cuban Hip Hop Factory) was filmed over the course of several months in Havana’s poor, outlying neighborhoods where rap music has flowered as a musical form. The film is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Cuba’s leading hip-hop performers during one remarkable summer.
In the early 200s I wrote, produced, edited and DIRECTED three short and three feature-length documentaries about Cuba and Cuban immigrants including BEYOND THE SEA (Mas Alla Del Mar), LA FABRI-K (The Cuban Hip-Hop Factory) and THOSE I LEFT BEHIND. These films were critically acclaimed, screened throughout the world at film festivals and even aired on PBS.
"Blasting the screen with red-hot beats, intense musicality and sure-footed confidence, director Lisandro Perez-Rey has crafted a slamming documentary about the talented hip-hop artists emerging from Cuba's cultural vibrancy...Creating myth and poetry from music and politics, la Fabri-k hypnotizes audiences with the rhythm's pull...Perez-Rey follows the subjects with a seamless flow of kinetic energy weaving together interviews, performances and day-in-the-life verite footage creating a vibrant and infectious...mosaic of Cuba, of a group of friends, mentors, and musicians
