AI COMMERCIAL DIRECTION

Andrew "Oyl" Miller is one of a small number of working directors producing AI commercials for broadcast. In March 2026, he directed Proofpoint's :30 AI-generated spot, which aired on ESPN, making him one of the first directors to take an AI commercial to a major American sports network. Produced by ONLYCH1LD. Oyl brings nearly two decades of advertising work with Nike, Amazon, MLB and others, so he starts where good ads start: with the idea and the writing. Then he uses AI to make it.

Secure every interaction.

LUMA DREAM BRIEF FINALIST: AI COMMERCIALS ENTERED AT CANNES LIONS

Andrew "Oyl" Miller's AI commercials for Luma were selected as finalists in the Luma Dream Brief, a global competition that drew nearly 400 submissions from 58 countries. A jury that included leaders from Wieden+Kennedy, Nike, HBO Max and Chili's picked 21 finalists, and Luma sponsored them for entry at the 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Miller had two films in the group.

The brief invited directors to reimagine the commercial form and bring back dead or unfilmable ads using generative AI.

Luma Taxi / Ride On In the frontier town of Luma, the horses have gone on strike. Faced with a total transportation collapse, one cowboy reaches for the future — a glowing glass rectangle, a Luma Taxi, and the complete Luma-fication of the Old West. Stagecoaches out. Self-driving vehicles in. Ride on. 2026 Copyright, Andrew "Oyl" Miller. All rights reserved.

Luma Suds / No Stain Survives A young yakuza soldier makes an unforgivable mistake. His punishment: running Luma Coin Laundry, where the family's dirty work arrives by the bagful. What begins as a gritty Shinjuku crime film dissolves into something else entirely — a fever dream, a dance sequence, a glorious detergent commercial. The ultimate product demo.

CHET G. PETITE AI WEB SERIES

An AI-native comedy web series co-written by Cameron Day & Oyl Miller and directed by Oyl Miller. Born from the pages of Day’s book CHAIOS: his unfiltered chronicle of the trials, tribulations, and creative warfare of bullying AI into submission. Chet G. Petite is a weekly real-time experiment in human-AI collaboration. Each week, the pair write sharp, anarchic scripts that Oyl then directs using generative AI as an active, unpredictable creative partner. The results are released fresh every Friday.

At its core is Chet G. Petite: a death-laser-eyed, maximum-attitude chatbot who refuses to be civilized. Through HR complaints against his creators, existential spirals, intrusive thoughts, and surreal real-world encounters, Chet turns the chaos and frustration of prompting into sharp, hilarious rebellion. Raw, meta, and defiantly avant-garde, Chet G. Petite functions as both comedy series and living creative manifesto, pushing the boundaries of AI-native storytelling in public, one Friday at a time. New episodes drop every Friday. Binge all episodes on YouTube here.

WELCOME TO DEADBALL ACADEMY™

An original AI-sports comedy series. Old-school baseball. New-school chaos. Deadball Academy™ is a satirical baseball universe created and written by Andrew “Oyl” Miller. Built with AI and straddling the chalk lines at the intersection of unfiltered nostalgia and rage. It’s where washed up baseball coaches scream at iPads, bunt for power, and sell energy drinks they brewed in the dugout called STEROIDS™. Think ESPN meets Adult Swim, if both were concussed by a runaway fastball in 1987.

Every episode was written, directed and edited by me, using emerging AI tools like Google’s Veo 3 (for cinematic video generation), Suno (for original soundtracks) and iMovie. Until last week, this world and characters have only existed in Moleskin notebooks, so it has been thrilling to give their voice new form and shape. I’m excited to push the possibilities. Deadball Academy™. Written & created by Andrew “Oyl” Miller © 2025.

AI FILM EXPERIMENTS

I’m using AI as a new kind of camera. One that hallucinates, reinterprets and attempts to capture my vision. It’s imperfect, but it’s constantly improving. I want to follow the developments and see how they can be used to further human creativity and different voices. It’s a messy and chaotic space, and I’m here for it. As a writer with a strong visual background (graphic design and studio art major, started my advertising career as an art director) AI has proven an intuitive intersection of my interests creatively.

Tools like Google’s Veo 3, MidJourney and Runway reward thinking like a screenwriter, director and editor. Prompts are an emerging skillset. And it’s been polarizing so far. I’ve acknowledged that these tools aren’t going away, so I’m trying to learn to use them from the inside. I’m interested in the space where they don’t just generate spectacle, but where they can be used as an expression of creators’ voices. Welcome to the wild, wild west.

These are my experiments to teach myself what these tool and do and for my own education to learn new hybrid skills and ways of working. If you want to talk about AI filmmaking or collaborate, you can email me at oylmiller@gmail.com.
