Daniel Liu, founder, filmmaker, and builder

Founder. Filmmaker. Builder.

I build companies, products, and films across AI, software, media, and entrepreneurship.

01Work

Companies, films, and the tools that connect them.

01Founder

PreShoot

An AI-powered creative production platform. I built it after running into the same wall on every shoot: knowing what to make, and how to actually shoot it.

Noura

An AI learning product built around a simple inversion: instead of AI teaching the student, the student teaches the AI.

Film

Commercial videography, cinematography, photography, and short-form storytelling. The practice that made PreShoot necessary.

02The intersection

Film is why the software exists.

I build PreShoot because I understand filmmaking. Generic AI ideas look clever until a camera comes out. Production is the test.

I build software because I like solving problems that show up in real work. I make films because I care about storytelling. The overlap is creative technology.

03Film
