The Workshop

FADE IN:
Rose Ave is a production company founded by filmmaker and AI pioneer Jesse Wellens. We pair traditional film craft with AI innovation to make commercials, music videos and content for artists, brands and icons, then put it in front of millions.
Why Rose Ave
Anyone can generate a video now. What makes people stop and share hasn’t changed. They want a story they care about, shot like it matters.
Jesse spent 20 years learning what makes people watch. We bring that instinct to every project, whether it’s shot on set with a crew or built with the newest AI tools, and we hold every frame to the same standard.

Live 3D world
Step inside
This is Jesse's living room, rebuilt from iPhone photos as a world you can walk through right in your browser. Every piece of the sectional, every pillow and the coffee table is its own object. Pick them up, spin them and move the room around.
We can do the same with your store, your set or your next launch.

What we make

How a film gets made
We shape the idea into a written treatment you can react to before a single frame is shot or generated.
Casting, character sheets and locations lock the look, so faces and props hold from shot to shot.
On set or in AI, we direct every shot the same way: lens, film stock, movement and light.
Edit, sound design, music and a real color grade bring it all together.
Cut for every platform and pushed where your audience is already watching.
