Join Lion El Aton, filmmaker, co-founder of FilmCrux, and director of Otherside, for a live breakdown of the third film in Beyond The Loop Season 2.
Lion is one of the leading voices in modern digital filmmaking, with his work and resources reaching millions of creators worldwide. Through FilmCrux, he has built a filmmaking platform and resource ecosystem dedicated to helping independent storytellers push past traditional production barriers. His work bridges cinematic storytelling, high-end visual craft, and advanced AI-assisted workflows, making him a perfect fit for a series about where original filmmaking is heading next.
In this session, Lion will pull back the curtain on how he built Otherside: a dark anime-inspired near-future thriller where human and demon realms have become intertwined, and two agents working for the Otherside Protection Agency are drawn into a brutal conspiracy that threatens the fragile peace between both worlds.
He’ll get into his creative process, how he approached worldbuilding, character consistency, action, atmosphere, and the challenge of using AI to create something that feels like original anime cinema rather than a tech demo. Expect a proper look under the hood, live insight, and Q&A where you can ask him directly about the tools, techniques, and decisions behind the film.
