Competed in Runway's 48-hour AI short film contest, creating 'Burning Canyons' from concept, script, and storyboard to final AI generation and edit in a single weekend. Later the same year, I would also enter a similar contest by ElevenLabs and PikaLabs with 'Beyond Dreams'.

Building this website
Decided to build my own website after many years of thinking about it (and also lacking time). With AI and the tools surrounding it, the process has been much easier and very interesting. On top of the speed of development, I'm able to learn and experiment with modern technologies and UI/UX features.
Sep 2026
Launched apimo.heyshaun.fr
Built a constellation of Apimo's 500+ integrations (portals, MLS and proptech tools) in six languages, so agencies can check that their tools work with Apimo and companies can see how to become a partner.
