Matthieu Mantovani is an award-winning director celebrated for his masterful storytelling, visual effects, and pioneering work in generative AI under the alias "Beyond Human." After starting with "The Zoo" collective, he transitioned to solo directing, helming major commercial campaigns for Mercedes and Toyota that earned multiple Cannes Lions nominations. Since 2022, he has merged AI with live-action filmmaking to push creative boundaries while maintaining artistic authenticity—a hybrid discipline that has been featured in contemporary art galleries and inspired him to co-found Année Zéro, a Parisian gallery dedicated to AI artists.
