Commercials · Documentary · Generative AI

Bruno Detante is a film director based in Paris. He spent twenty years in the field, directing more than 300 TV documentaries broadcast in 70 countries, from extreme sports to IRONMAN, before bringing that experience to advertising.

He now works as director or lead AI artist on international campaigns for Mercedes, NFL, Google Pixel, France Télévisions, Maserati, Cadillac and Hisense, with production companies such as Mathematic, Monks, Secret Level and Wonders. Live action, VFX, 3D and generative AI are tools in service of one thing: the image and the story.

He also shares his method on stage, in talks and masterclasses across Europe and North America, around one idea: AI demands more directing intention, not less.
