Filmmaker Statement

I didn’t set out to make a “pretty” fairytale — I wanted to twist it. The School of Magic & Mischief was born from the idea that villains are often more fascinating than heroes. They laugh louder, fail bigger, and spark chaos that feels alive. Using AI as both brush and stage, I wanted to craft a world where mirrors whisper, potions misbehave, and every mistake is its own spell. This project is a playful rebellion against polished perfection — a reminder that mischief, flaws, and a bit of wicked laughter can be just as magical as happily-ever-afters.
