GODS COUNCIL. Director's Statement
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that the systems shaping our world might not be as intentional as we think. That behind decisions that affect millions, there could be confusion, ego, improvisation, and even a sense of humor. GODS COUNCIL was born from that thought. A way of exploring power, responsibility, and consequence through a lens that feels both absurd and strangely familiar.
At its core, this series is about control. Who has it, who thinks they have it, and what happens when it slips. The two gods in this story are not all-knowing or perfect. They are flawed, reactive, and often overwhelmed. They represent a kind of leadership that tries to do good but doesn’t fully understand the complexity of the systems they are intervening in. And that’s where the tension lives: in the gap between intention and outcome.
What interested me most was using comedy to approach serious global themes. Climate change, inequality, the concentration of power… These are heavy topics, but by placing them in a surreal, controlled environment, we can look at them from a different angle. The humor allows space for reflection without becoming didactic. It invites the audience to laugh, but also to recognize something deeper underneath.
The introduction of human antagonists: a scientist and an oligarch, was simply essential. At some point, the consequences of the gods’ actions become so large that humanity begins to push back. And in doing so, the series starts to question whether control should ever belong to a few, whether divine or human.
From a production perspective, this project represents a major step forward in how I approach storytelling with AI. It’s a fully continuous narrative told across multiple episodes, with recurring characters, evolving arcs, and a clear progression. The goal was not just to experiment visually, but to build something that feels cohesive, intentional, and emotionally grounded.
GODS COUNCIL is, in many ways, a reflection of the world we live in… Chaotic, unpredictable, and shaped by forces that don’t always know what they’re doing. And maybe that’s the point.
From Costa Rica with love,
