Twenty years of building companies, then building the AI tools those companies actually needed. Danny's AI is where that experience turns into a straight, practical read for founders and executives trying to cut through the noise.
Danny's relationship with AI didn't start in a lab, it started on set and in the boardroom. Two decades of producing, building companies, and running teams meant AI was never theory: it was the tool that had to actually solve a production bottleneck, a story problem, or a business model, or it wasn't worth using. That practical, outcomes-first lens is what Danny brings to every AI conversation now.
Danny built vAIfx, a VFX-plus-AI production pipeline designed to bring AI tools directly into the film production process, from previsualization through post.
As part of a broader media-technology venture, Danny helped design Scripty, a consumer screenwriting app built to bring AI assistance directly into the writing process.
Beyond entertainment, Danny advises founders and CEOs on where AI genuinely creates leverage in their business, and just as importantly, where it's a distraction dressed up as a strategy.
Not every industry needs AI the same way. Here's where Danny sees it creating real leverage, drawn from direct experience across entertainment, fashion, and business building.
AI is changing how stories get made long before a camera rolls: previsualization, coverage, editing, and iteration all move faster. Used well, it clears the mechanical work out of the way so the creative decisions stay human. Used badly, it flattens the work into something generic. Knowing the difference is the actual skill.
In production, AI supports the pipeline itself, from previsualization to post, the way vAIfx was built to. In fashion, the same instinct applies to curation and personalization: matching pieces, archetypes, and members to the right fit, at the right moment, the same thinking behind Fashion Identity.
For founders and executives, the question is rarely whether to use AI, it's where. The real leverage tends to show up in operations, decision support, and customer-facing tools, not in bolting a chatbot onto something that was never the bottleneck. That's the read Danny brings into the advisory.
