Ambitious Riff Raff · New York
An NYC studio for unscripted, docu-series, and branded content. Now building AI tools for the next generation of producers.
I've spent two decades in entertainment — developing and producing unscripted series, docu-series, branded content for Fortune 500s, and original multi-platform productions with A-list talent. Ambitious Riff Raff is the NYC studio I run to keep doing that work.
The industry is changing. Budgets are tighter, timelines are shorter, and the tools are finally catching up. I'm building Ambitious Riff Raff to be cloud-native and AI-augmented from the ground up — so we can move faster without losing the craft.
That journey led to a side problem worth solving. More on that below.

What's Next
After two years studying the AI industry while developing a true-crime docu-series, I went looking for tools to speed up production. I couldn't find what I needed. Every 'best AI tools' list I read turned out to be paid for by the vendors. So I started building my own tools to solve real production problems — and built AlignAI to find the honest ones.
AlignAI uses a proprietary 5-Layer Community Intelligence system — not simple star ratings. Our NLP engine analyzes every review for specificity, business context, implementation depth, and sentiment. Reviews are weighted by source credibility, recency, and detail — a 6-month production review counts far more than a vague launch-day comment.
The result: a score from 0 to 100 with a community verdict — WORKED (75+), MIXED (50–74), or FAILED (below 50) — plus a confidence band. Zero affiliate links. Zero sponsored placements.

By treating AI not as the storyteller — but as the tool. LUCID DREAMING™ blends human creativity, editorial judgment, and custom AI workflows to reconstruct memory, testimony, evidence, and uncertainty.
Built for true crime, documentary, and premium non-fiction storytelling, our process transforms fragmented source material into emotionally powerful, broadcast-ready recreations designed to live inside real stories — not compete with them.
The Framework
Every recreation is categorized by narrative intent and evidentiary status: Factual, Memory / Subjective, or Speculative. Because in true crime and non-scripted storytelling: how you recreate matters.
Innovation + Integrity
Platform-agnostic. Technology-agnostic. We assemble the best AI tools and human artistry for each project — at 60–80% less than traditional recreation budgets. No actors. No sets. No B-unit crews. Just broadcast-ready scenes, delivered in days.
