An AI Short Film Creator Translating Emotional Nuance into Moving Images

Since discovering generative AI in July 2025, Hana Petal has been creating AI-driven video works, primarily sharing short films through social media while also drawing on professional experience as a web marketer.

In February 2026, her work received consecutive recognition in contests hosted by the global AI video generation platform KlingAI.

AI Creator / Head of AI Business — Delivering Results-Driven Creative through “Business Strategy” × “Global Sensibility”

I work as both an AI creator and an active Head of AI Business.
In addition to producing AI-powered creative work, my core strength lies in designing outputs with a clear focus on delivering measurable business results.

Rather than simply generating high-quality images or videos, I provide end-to-end support starting from contextual design—defining how each creative asset contributes to business objectives, marketing effectiveness, and brand value.

Leveraging approximately ten years of experience as a new business and AI business lead at publicly listed companies, I deliver practical, repeatable proposals aligned precisely with my clients’ business goals.

In addition, with professional experience at Walt Disney World, I specialize in non-verbal, intuitive expressions and world-building that resonate across cultures and national boundaries.

Drawing further on my background as a former stand-up comedian, I offer strong storytelling and narrative structuring skills, providing comprehensive support ranging from presentation design to video scenario development.
（Peers include サツマカワRPG, with 大鶴肥満 among my juniors.）

With a hybrid perspective that integrates “AI × Entertainment × Business,” I work alongside clients as a partner to accelerate and elevate their projects.
