Hilario Abad (Cádiz, 1991) is a film director, screenwriter, and producer. His work blends personal storytelling with experimentation, exploring new ways of filmmaking through artificial intelligence. He has worked across fiction, documentary, and animation, earning international recognition and collaborating with platforms like Runway, Freepik, and Leonardo AI.
After gaining attention with the satirical web series Caniville and directing films such as the thriller Night Comes and the documentary Parasceve, Abad has focused on the creative potential of AI. Short films like The Myth, Flush, and WHY have positioned him as one of the leading voices in generative cinema.
He is also the creator of IA VERÁS, an educational project with a strong presence on social media, and is currently developing ID, a historical suspense series made entirely with artificial intelligence. His films aim to raise questions rather than offer answers, always with a curious and contemporary perspective.
