Laura Tornga is an AI-native writer, director, and producer, and a startup operator. She writes and owns original stories, generates and directs them through a clean, model-agnostic pipeline, and finishes them to delivery, with live-action producing behind the hybrid practice.
A portfolio that spans a finished AI short, the orchestration tooling that produces it, the intelligence layer that tracks the industry, the strategic read on where this market goes next, and the festival leadership that put it all in front of an audience.
A model-agnostic production engine. Feed it a scene and it returns a structured shot list, per-shot generation prompts, and a live tracking board. It is the connective tissue between a script and a generation queue, and it survives any model swap, which matters more than ever in a market where flagship models come and go.
A finished AI short, authored end to end. Audio-first build, multi-platform generation, an original score composed as owned IP, and post in Topaz, Magnific, and Lumetri with a per-shot grade.
An automated scraper feeding three Notion databases plus a weekly frontier briefing on AI, robotics, and world models. Running in production right now, not a slide.
Human Behavior, Synthetic Grandma, and Bali Demons. Developed properties with loglines, status, and key art, the work of a writer with a pipeline rather than a single swing.
One shot from Human Behavior, the DENY climax, walked end to end: the audio-first build, the start frame written as a brief, the locked character reference, the negative space, and the final grade. Built to be taught from, with the real prompts and frames.
A competitive read on the licensed, commercially safe AI video space, the lawsuits driving it, and where the durable moat actually sits when the model is rented and the moat is built.
An essay on the studio as an operating system: a Life OS that holds intent, a Claude Code skills architecture that makes craft callable, and a learning loop that compounds across projects.
As Festival Director, Laura produced the 2025 LMU edition end to end alongside co-founder Justin Winters, owning marketing and social, partner outreach, and the leadership of the student volunteer team. Production from the brand down to bodies on the ground.
The traditional half of a hybrid practice. Producer on four LMU live-action films, two of them MFA theses, plus the Media Misfits banner and an independent body of work under Black Lee. The set and the schedule alongside the pipeline and the picture.
A living landing page for the design practice itself: a WebGL caustics hero drawn from the film's aquarium light, GSAP choreography, and the shipped interfaces, the board, the lesson, and void-breath, presented as case studies.
Finished films, trailers, and music videos, completed and delivered. Within this private portfolio the full cuts are available to view on request.
The original IP slate, with loglines and status, is on the slate page. The full live-action producing record is on the live-action page.
