Director with a soft spot for love, chaos, and art.

From losing locations the night before cameras rolled, to the complexity of filming on an active military base, to pleading with visual effects vendors to help me push the shots further, to the merciless summer heat that weighed on every shoot day… this project tested me in every way. I hope my devotion to seeing it through can be felt in these moments from REQUIEM MACHINA. by @mvgellan

What started as a rare opportunity to shoot on a remote military base, turned into this… concept, edit, and direction by me, mech characters and cgi by @titouanvfx, cinematography by @maxgoldmandp, music and sound by @polaire.audio (led by @lukashasiba), visual effects by @cinevisualfx, and color by @peter_oppersdorff_colour. by @mvgellan

I recently had the pleasure of directing @naomiosaka for her debut with @tagheuer. Here’s some scenes from the spot. The team killed it with only a couple of hours to work with Naomi... she’s the real deal!! by @mvgellan

Our ai team collaborated with renowned director @ultronfilms to bring his Audi F1 vision to life, a true collision of craft and next-gen tools. As we push into this new era, we’re excitedly exploring workflows that bridge traditional filmmaking, generative models, and cgi pipelines. Additional shoutout to @_w1echuz, @who.oti, @amiroseinh, @matt.visualz, and @un.studios. by @mvgellan

I wanted to create a world I’ve pitched but never had the chance to bring to life. I wanted to see if I could hold my own as an editor in the era of fast-twitch editing. And most of all, I wanted to do it now… keep swiping right to see the full ai-powered spot for puma motorsport, produced by the gang, @grzwrld. Big ups to @apolloposthouse, @ayodouson, and @tanvirhc1. by @mvgellan

Be The Dark. Be The Dawn

We’re excited to spotlight one of the first releases from the LTX Ambassadors Program.

Created by @mvgellan and @grzwrld, this piece explores what happens when style, atmosphere, and storytelling collide with next-generation AI video tools.

Every frame was built in LTX, using a combination of Veo 3.1 and LTX-2.

More ambassador showcases coming soon.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted new work. Here’s the first of several projects that carry a little piece of me… starting with a mediation on toxic relationships and therapy for @betterhelp. I think we had about thirty minutes at the end of the day to capture this director’s cut of the script. Shoutout to @erikdotcom, @longdivision.film, @kubsssssssss, @chaliwastudios, @snapanimationinc, @jonniesirotek, @marisa.bertani, and @vokestudio. by @mvgellan

What’s real… and what’s not? The more important question is does the audience feel something. by @mvgellan
