Founder, Frombach Studios
I have worked in communications since 2012, which mostly meant explaining complicated technical things to people who had no particular reason to care about them yet. It turned out to be most of the job.
I started building with generative models in 2022. That changed what I thought one person could reasonably make, and I went far enough in that it stopped being a tool and became the practice — custom models, ComfyUI pipelines, and the unglamorous infrastructure that makes a difficult shot or a working system achievable at all.
Frombach Studios started in 2026. It is the name for all of it: the films, the games, the software, and the experiments that have not decided what they are yet. I make cutting-edge tech do things it probably was not designed for — but should have been.
Practice
Why one person makes all three
Films, games and software look like three different careers. In practice they are one: decide what the thing should feel like, then build the machinery that can actually produce it.
-
Ship the bad first draft.
The fastest way to know what to build is to build something embarrassing and look at it. Everything here started ugly.
-
Taste over tools.
The model does not know what is good. Whoever says yes or no on the final frame is still the most important person on the project.

Pipelines are public. If I cannot explain how something was made, I cannot teach it and I cannot repeat it.
