Frankie Caradonna COMASTUDIO

Film Director & AI Visioneer

the speaker

Frankie Caradonna is a film director, Gen-AI Supervisor, and interdisciplinary artist working between London and Milan. Raised in Southern Italy and educated in moral philosophy and cinema, he combines classical filmmaking language with contemporary practice integrating live action, CG, Gen-AI, and emerging technologies. His work spans film, video art, immersive installations, and hybrid projects—always prioritizing narrative and emotional experience over technology for its own sake. Frankie is Gen-AI Supervisor at EDI Effetti Digitali Italiani, Italy's leading VFX house, integrating AI into cinema, TV series, and art projects. Represented by Great Guns, he has collaborated with Lamborghini, Google, Nike, Selfridges, and major brands. His work has been recognized by Nowness, BFI, Milan Film Festival, LA Documentary Film Festival, and featured in The Guardian, Forbes, and British Journal of Photography. Inspired by nature, ocean, and shamanic practices, Frankie explores new visual storytelling where cinema, art, and innovation converge.

the studio

COMASTUDIO is a magic realism studio mixing elements from fashion, storytelling, and immersive experiences. The studio creates worlds by working on experiential art installations and commercial projects, combining multiple disciplines to create unique experiences on the borderline of art, craft, and design—physical and digital. Each project starts from relevant conceptual storytelling ideas, then conjures multiple creative fields through various mediums, layers, and senses with equal amounts of sensorial craft and cleverness. COMASTUDIO collaborates with agencies, companies, museums, and institutions across films and photo campaigns, CGI films, AI films, AR experiences, virtual production, holograms, 3D/2D, illustration, and digital sculptures. Based between London and Milan, COMASTUDIO champions storytelling where technology serves vision, creating magic realism experiences that engage audiences through narrative depth and emotional resonance rather than technical spectacle alone.

the talk

A Crazy Horse Called AI

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

Artificial Intelligence is a beautiful and absurd oxymoron—a wild horse we're all trying to ride. Frankie shares his journey as film director and Gen-AI Supervisor at EDI, one of Italy's biggest VFX houses, integrating AI into cinema, art projects, and TV series—not as replacement for craft, but as amplifier of human creativity. From development to post-production, he explores how AI enters complex production pipelines while preserving authorship, empathy, and the invisible beauty only human collaboration generates. Across large crews of artists, technicians, VFX teams, and storytellers, AI becomes a mirror of our expanding consciousness—a tool reflecting who we are rather than deciding for us. While hyper-consumerist myths celebrate the lonely "solo creator" obsessed with speed and success, Frankie argues the opposite: meaningful creation is collective, imperfect, and deeply human. AI isn't the destination. It's the crazy horse. Are we riding it, or is it riding us?
