Beyondflix

Beyondflix Productions is Adrian Daniel Botnariu's Berlin studio, where an engineer's approach to pipeline design meets emotional storytelling. Its vertical short Happiness passed 12 million organic views, Vampire Economy took the AI Film Award in Venice, and the studio worked as lead AI artist on season 14 of The Masked Singer for Fox Entertainment. It also staged the first AI event alongside the Berlinale. The studio's public face is Botnariu's channel, whose tagline is Intentional filmmaking with AI. A short film directed by him placed among the top 25 of 2,500 submissions to the Future Vision XPRIZE; it is set in a future where humanity is connected by constant neural links and an emotion designer must integrate the darkness the systems were built to suppress. His playlists include original series for CapCut and short microdramas in the romance, fantasy and horror genres. Botnariu, a filmmaker with an engineering background and more than a decade in the industry, studied at ENS Louis-Lumière and worked at the Vodafone Innovation Lab. He organised the Berlinale-adjacent AI event in collaboration with LTX Studio, bridging the traditional film industry and the emerging AI creative sector, and he is on the festival's guest list.
