Director Statement — David Cole
I am a writer-director creating cinematic storytelling using AI as a production multiplier, not a creative substitute. My work focuses on tone, restraint, and authorship—using modern tools to collapse timelines while preserving traditional directing discipline.
Dear Lilith, I Love You was created as a finished narrative work and functions as a proof-of-execution for The Lion of God, a larger mythic science-fiction property. Its reception across international film festivals confirmed that this approach resonates when story leads technology.
My focus is on creating authored, scalable IP with cost certainty and creative clarity for development partners interested in original voices and modern production pipelines.
