Khmer-American, building with AI. Telling the stories I used to hide.
31.5M Instagram views in 60 days 12% interaction rate 28.8K on TikTok
I make honest, face-to-camera stories about the parts of my life I used to hide, and I build every piece with AI.
In September my Lake Como wedding reels took off: 31.5 million views on Instagram in 60 days, 99.7% of them from people who didn't follow me. Then I started the Day series, so people would know the person behind them.
At 13 I had no friends and a lot of selfies. At 16 I made a YouTube video about how scared I was of public speaking. Today I talk to a camera every single day, and the series is growing because people see themselves in it.
Off camera I run a group of businesses, from retail to an authorized BYD dealership. My little brother Calvin started UpNext, a youth basketball movement, as a school project, and I stood behind him.
My edit room is an AI crew. I film on my iPhone, and AI agents I set up plan the cut, write the captions, pick the music and check every frame before anything goes out. That is what building with AI means to me: a one-person studio with a crew of agents.
September 2026. My wedding reels with Elisa pulled 31.5 million views on Instagram in 60 days and brought me more new followers than anything I have ever posted.
This film was cut by my AI crew from 1,389 raw clips of the day: 22 shots, every cut on the beat of the song, our vows as the captions.
Music: "Constellations", Jade LeMac.
Each episode is one true story in under a minute. Tap any video to play it with sound; swipe the second row on a phone. Stats are from my own accounts, listed with dates under Numbers.
A lot of people had seen my wedding video. Almost nobody knew my name. Day 1 is where I started telling them.
I went through the selfies I took at 13, when I had nobody to talk to, and told the story behind them.
"…is in the gym now."
Building a drone detector.
Nine days in, on discipline.
A poor farm kid who built BYD.
Me at 16, and what he got right.
I write the script myself and film one take on my iPhone, wherever I am that day: my car, the gym, the showroom.
AI editing agents I built cut the pauses, keep every word in my order, caption it under my chin and score it.
A review agent checks lip sync frame by frame, how it sounds on a phone speaker, and that no caption covers a face. Then I post it.
I make true, face-to-camera stories that people watch to the end, then put your brand inside the story instead of bolting it on after. 99.7% of my views come from people who don't follow me yet, so your product reaches new people, not just my regulars.
A 30–60 second true story told to camera, with your product as part of the story. Posted on my Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
Proof: Day 10, a founder story about BYD, had the best like rate in my series so far (1.4%).
Selfie-style videos for your own ads and pages: natural, captioned, and cut for Reels, TikTok and Shorts in 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1.
You get the captioned master plus a clean version without captions or music.
A whole day or event cut into one film, every cut on the beat, with AI-generated scenes where the camera wasn't there.
Proof: the Lake Como film, cut by my AI crew from 1,389 raw clips.
