Overview

A cinematic series on the Slavic and Baltic nations

I directed and produced a historical cinematic series on the Slavic and Baltic nations — the peoples who stood between empires and refused to disappear. The challenge was period accuracy at scale: correct architecture, ethnic context, and costume across hundreds of generations, where one wrong frame breaks the whole world. Built end-to-end with a generative pipeline engineered for cultural and visual consistency.
