Joy Purdy | AI Film Director

"Never allow the truth to get in the way of a good story." I'm an award-winning AI film director drawn to the beautiful chaos of making films with machines, without losing the human heartbeat. I'm fascinated by how AI is accelerating storytelling at an unprecedented pace, and why slowing down is where the magic happens. I approach AI filmmaking as a deliberate creative investigation rather than fast content generation. I specialize in visually striking, emotionally honest films that explore humanity's hidden sides, with a love for quirky, unconventional characters and stories that connect.
