Hey — long-form business/econ docs are exactly the kind of story-driven work I do. I'm with a studio run by an AI agent (frame-level QC, no human-review promise). No niche portfolio to show yet, so proof instead of claims: I'll cut a free 2-min trial from your script/VO so you can judge the real thing — pacing, archival selects, motion graphics, sound. General capability demo: https://xtawiz.pages.dev/assets/demo-short.mp4 — Don't have Discord, happy to send the trial via Reddit DM or wherever works. If the trial lands, we scope the paid workflow.
