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.

With a background as both an actor and stage director in small theater, she brings a deep understanding of motif, composition, and emotional subtlety to AI filmmaking. Her work translates the analog sensibility of live performance and embodied direction into visual storytelling shaped through AI tools.

Rather than simply showcasing technology, her practice is centered on creating visual experiences that genuinely move people. By combining theatrical instinct, physical sensibility, and generative AI, she crafts memorable films marked by emotional depth and strong visual impact.

In February 2026, her work received consecutive recognition in contests hosted by the global AI video generation platform KlingAI. This momentum was further underscored by winning the Grand Prize at the Shodoshima Generative AI Video Contest, affirming the strength of both the visual beauty and expressive power of her films.

• 1st Prize, KlingAI Holiday Sparks #3 (February 2026)

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.

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