20 years ago, @parishilton made advertising history with Carl’s Jr. You know the one: a Bentley, a bucket of suds, and a burger. Cut to 2026:

Carl’s Jr. teams up with Native Foreign to bring Paris back to the car wash. But things have changed - she’s not washing the cars by hand herself anymore. She’s doing what any reasonable human being would do in the age of hashtag#ai - build an army of bots to do the work for her!

She’s the boss now - rocking a custom designed pink racing outfit designed by esteemed fashion designer Michael Ngo.

The Famous Star is @carlsjr most iconic burger. And Paris knows a thing or two about being an iconic famous star. Hence, the Famous Starwash.

By design, much of the campaign was created using generative production. That said, this was far from a one-button process. Thousands of human decisions on casting, wardrobe, and shot iterations - with dozens of passes of refinement from the Native Foreign team brought it to life.

We also wanted the real Paris in the spot, to in fact be the REAL Paris. So we did a shoot with her to capture that IRL magic.

Thanks to the incredible team at @nativeforeign.co and all our tech partners like @freepik that helped make this ambitious spot! In total, more than 100 people collaborated to make this spot a reality.

2025 - the year that felt like 𝟓 wrapped up in one. My company @nativeforeign.co shipped over 𝟑𝟖 client projects, pushed forward 𝟓+ original IPs, and I somehow fit in over 𝟕𝟎 speaking engagements all around the world. The most important stat I’m reserving for the video - watch below to catch it!

𝙉𝙤𝙣𝙚 of this happens without the incredible client partners, collaborators, and friends who joined us along the way. A big shout to the ever-curious #ai community that continues to challenge, support, and shape what’s next in storytelling. If you didn’t get a chance to work with us this year, we’ve got many more projects coming in - so let’s get in touch.

I can’t name you all, but I’ll add all the names I can before LinkedIn cuts me off. If you didn’t make it into the cut, try to hang out with me more next year 😉

See you in 2026 🙌

An eccentric trillionaire leads his ragtag crew of employees to settle a new world: Beta Earth. What could possibly go wrong?

Director/Producer @Kleverov and Writer/Creator Ryan Walls of @nativeforeign.co take us behind the scenes of the making of “Beta Earth,” their new generative AI short film.

“Beta Earth” premiered at the Showtime! Generative AI Short Film Festival at Adobe MAX. Head to our YouTube channel at the link in bio to watch the full length behind-the-scenes video and short film.

The AI Video Academy Awards Winners Announced!

Memory Maker takes us into a world where, in the aftermath of the Great Wars, humanity has fallen to a subordinate role under the dominion of advanced androids.

Among the few revered human professions left are the “Memory Makers” — artists with the extraordinary ability to craft vivid, lifelike memories based on real experience, which can be implanted into androids, giving them a taste of what it means to feel alive.

Dr. Turner, one of the most celebrated memory makers of all, is summoned for a mysterious and high-stakes assignment.

Created by @kleverov and @nativeforeign.co – huge congratulations to the team on crafting such an ambitious and cinematic short.

It’s incredible to see how far AI-powered storytelling has already come, with films like this pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Big stuff happening

𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙯 started as a AI short we made with Chad Nelson utilizing EARLY tools. Now it’s evolving into a full-length feature with the writers of Paddington in Peru - and yes, it’s officially copyrighted.

That last part? Not easy. But with help from Lisa Oratz and Perkins Coie, we went through our process on a recent panel: human authorship can shine through AI. Just be sure you “show your work” 😉

A big moment for us at @nativeforeign.co, and for the future of AI in storytelling. More soon.

We brought The Mermaids to life. Then we told their story at Cannes. 🧜‍♀️⚓️🎥

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗱𝘀: 𝗔 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲 is an AI-generated cinematic story that brings the four mermaids (Scarlet, Valiant, Brilliant, and Resilient - that represent each ship in the Virgin fleet) to life in a way that blended mythology, modernity, and machine learning. From archetype to animation, it was a journey powered by tech but grounded in emotion.

🚢 We premiered the piece in collaboration with Virgin Voyages
🧠 We spoke about the process at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity
💡 And most importantly - it still took a full crew to make it happen. AI didn’t replace the team; it expanded what we could do together.

Here’s a blip from our panel, more to come! #ai #brand #storytelling

🎬 Creating Film Noir vibes with AI?
This is one of the first noir clips I ever made. Here’s my secret sauce for making your own:

1️⃣ What are your characters doing? Give them really specific instructions.

2️⃣ Nail the lighting and medium: Sharp shadows, soft glow. For example- Shot on 16mm film with grain.

3️⃣ Be ready for collaboration: your prompts may take you down some unexpected journeys. Roll with it.

AI filmmaking is art - your prompts are the brushstrokes.
