Frames from the pilot
Stills from an original mythological pilot and a wordless "arc of life" — a temple, an alpine crossing, a millennia-spanning timelapse, an old man's last breath.
I'm a film director. I build mythic, cinematic pieces with AI — directed, acted, with a look that feels like film, not a filter. A fraction of a production's cost and timeline.
Start a projectMost AI video is a lottery of adjectives and morphing transitions. Mine isn't. Every shot is directed — I perform the scenes myself, I build custom voices for each character, and I hold a piece's tone and characters consistent from shot to shot with a method verified across hundreds of paid generations.
The result reads as a piece of cinema: myth, weight, emotion. Where the machine falls apart — real physicality, a held gaze, a life ending — is exactly where a director earns the frame.

You send the idea, the brand, the feeling. A short call or a paragraph is enough to start.
I come back with a direction — the look, the beats, the world — before a single frame is generated.
I direct and perform the piece, build the voices, and hold the character and tone consistent throughout.
Graded, finished, delivered in days — with a round of revisions to get it exactly right.
Composition, rhythm, performance, story. The AI is the camera and the crew — the eye is mine.
A working actor transferring real acting to the character: timing, pauses, emotion. The part machines can't fake.
Every character gets its own voice, built and owned — consistent across the whole piece.
What used to take a shoot, a crew and months lands in days, at a fraction of the budget.
A short piece in a few days; a full brand film usually within one to two weeks, depending on scope. No shoot, no crew scheduling — the timeline is the work itself.
No. It's directed and performed, with a method built to keep characters, physics and tone consistent — the opposite of a random generator. You're hiring a director who happens to use AI as the camera and crew, not a one-click tool.
Your brief, your brand or references, and the feeling you're after. The more specific, the better — but a single strong paragraph is enough to start a concept.
Yes. You get full commercial usage rights to the delivered piece. Licensing specifics are agreed up front so there are no surprises.
Each package includes a round of revisions to get the piece right. Larger changes of concept are quoted separately, but the goal is always that you're happy with the final cut.
Yes — the direction is built around your world, palette and tone, not a template. That consistency is the whole point of hiring a director rather than a generator.
Alexandre Cuny is a director and actor. Hesperal is his studio for cinematic films made with AI — where a working actor's understanding of performance and emotion meets a production pipeline that used to require a crew, a budget and months of time.
The difference isn't the tool. It's the eye behind it: someone who has stood in front of the camera, who knows what a held gaze or a broken breath is worth, directing every frame instead of hoping the machine gets lucky. The result is work with weight — myth, tension, feeling — delivered at a speed and cost that were impossible a year ago.
