IVAN BARRETTA
FILMMAKER & EDITOR
Traditional & AI Production
I'm a filmmaker and editor with 15 years in traditional production, now working with generative AI too. My editorial credits include award-winning unscripted series for Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, the BBC and Channel 4: Drive to Survive, All or Nothing, Among the Stars, Gogglebox. In footage heavy shows like these, the job is made of decisions, each one shaping what the audience ends up feeling.
I have also directed, filmed and edited campaigns, adverts, branded content and short documentaries for clients including Octopus Energy, Arsenal F.C., Royal Caribbean International and Red Bull.
In AI filmmaking, my short film FANGS has won several awards across 15+ official festival selections worldwide. For Publicis, one of the world’s largest advertising groups, I’ve worked with their AI department on campaigns, from character imagery to compositing AI into live-action footage. At Particle6, one of the UK’s top AI studios, I built agentic production workflows for adverts, micro-dramas and short-form content. I’m also part of the Distinguished Network of Artists at Curious Refuge, a leading AI film school now owned by Hollywood AI studio Promise.
