Tools made for
the people who make.
Film tools that take the busywork and leave the craft. The maker stays in the frame.

MindMade is a HybridIntelligence studio.

Two to make the work.
One to remember it.
Lumen and CineLogic are the tools. IRIS is the memory beneath both, so context survives the wrap.
IRIS
A dot. A breath. A thread. IRIS is the institutional memory of your practice. The layer that quietly threads Lumen and CineLogic so context survives the wrap.
- Beside the work
IRIS waits with the work and answers when asked. It stays out of the way until you reach for it.
- Memory you can feel
The thread you remember holding three projects ago. IRIS holds it with you.
- Local where it lives
Footage stays on the machine that made it. Cloud sync is yours to enable when you want it.
Labs.
A field study in how a practice holds its own knowledge over years, not sessions. Three projects in open field. Parts of Pāṇini, our neuro-symbolic foundation-model study, go open soon. Slow. Quiet. Open where it earns it.
Privacy as architecture.
Built into the floor.
Three commitments, in plain language, that hold across every surface we ship.
- 01
Local by default.
Footage, scripts, edits stay on the machine that made them. Cloud sync stays optional.
- 02
Memory you can read.
IRIS keeps the thread, and the thread is yours. Every memory is inspectable, editable, and exportable as plain text.
- 03
Your work leaves with you.
Open formats. If you stop using us, the work continues in whichever tool you reach for next.
Asked, plainly.
Answered the same.
Software shaped around the practitioner. Computation handles the dull, repeatable work; the human stays in the frame, making the calls. A stance we hold across every product we ship.
A studio of makers.
Filmmaker · Storyteller · Engineer, directing a fleet of agents. The studio is the work.
Twenty years telling stories across five continents, thousands of hours in the edit suite. He builds the tools he wished he had as a filmmaker, the kind that take the busywork and leave the craft. He leads product so the maker always keeps the final call.
Multi-medium narrative expertise spanning theatre, film, video game animation, and motion capture. Ensures our instruments adapt to each storyteller's process. He shapes how the studio tells its story, on screen and off.
Built and sold an intelligence platform before MindMade. He runs the engine room, the on-device pipeline and the agent systems that let a small studio move like a large one. He works where the hard parts live: Rust, Metal, and the architecture most people never see.
