Anthony Siarkiewicz — Video Producer · Motion Designer · AI Filmmaker

Anthony Siarkiewicz is a filmmaker and AI filmmaker with 25+ years of experience across film, television, advertising, and digital media. His career spans feature films including The Truman Show, Rock of Ages, and Great Expectations, network television, and commercial work for clients such as Nike, Reebok, Ford, and MTV — and today centers on integrating AI into modern film production workflows.

As a Creative Director and AI Strategist, Anthony builds custom tools that bridge traditional cinematic craft with generative AI. He designs AI-assisted pipelines for storyboarding, VFX planning, scene realism evaluation, and visual continuity, working with platforms like Runway, Google Veo, MidJourney, Kling AI, and Eleven Labs alongside industry standards including DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Cinema 4D, and Unreal Engine.

His work reflects a lifelong drive to build things. Anthony develops custom applications that streamline every stage of production — from an OCR- and machine-learning-powered receipt-reading app that cut expense entry time by 90%, to shot-tracking systems, script analysis tools, generative slide builders, and production dashboards. This is grounded in formal data science training (Python, SQL, machine learning), where he built image-recognition models through hands-on dataset preparation, labeling, and evaluation.

Whether directing a shoot, architecting a multimedia pipeline, or evaluating generative video output at a pixel level, Anthony combines creative vision, technical precision, and user-centered design. He is a storyteller who codes, and a technologist who never stops making things.
