Eyal Padan

Israeli writer-director Eyal Padan turned to filmmaking after a career in advertising. Padan's AI-produced shorts give the lead to non-human characters, from the discarded running shoes of The Shoe to the sci-fi comedy Robot Hotel series, whose first chapter, Two Robots, was a Brooklyn SciFi Film Festival selection; Padan also makes the mockumentary You Can't Ask That.
