synopsis

Carlos, a devoted husband in his 60s, has spent years caring for his wife, Ellen, who has dementia. After an Alzheimer’s tech conference, he joins a study installing sensors to keep her safe. A motorcycle accident leads to a devastating diagnosis —terminal cancer. Determined to care for Ellen beyond his lifetime, Carlos secretly builds an AI “digital twin” of himself, recording stories, memories, and guidance in his own voice. As his health declines, the system proves it can spark moments of clarity and connection for Ellen. His innovation becomes an off shoot of an NIH project, blending human warmth with cutting-edge caregiving tech. Even after his death, the AI continues offering comfort —a love that endures beyond goodbye.

Global Storytelling

My Digital Twin is led by independent filmmaker, documentary director, and storyteller who works at the intersection of community voices and technological innovation. With a journalism degree from the University of Oregon and over a decade of experience, his background spans local television production, caregiving technology integration, and socially-driven filmmaking.

He began his career in broadcast as a Promotions Producer at KTVZ (NBC/FOX/CW/Telemundo), where he developed public media campaigns and on-air storytelling. He later transitioned into health technology, leading national support efforts for NIH-funded smart home caregiving studies at Care Daily. His work focused on aging-in-place solutions for rural, underserved, and Spanish-speaking families.

In documentary film, he directed  Longevity Beta Tester: The Dawn of AI Caregivers, which explores how connected technologies can reduce caregiver loneliness and support aging populations. He also created  Song of Sunset, an episodic series that documents the emotional and cultural importance of small-stage music venues in Oregon. The series has earned festival recognition and is actively being used to support grant applications and regional expansion.

Brian brings a unique combination of technical understanding, creative direction, and public-centered storytelling to every project. Whether working with AI caregiving tools or documenting community resilience through music, his goal remains the same: to tell stories that connect people and spark meaningful impact.
