Our Team
Meet the team behind Cine Real AI — the AI division of Make Believe
Pictures, led by Hollywood producers and creatives bringing decades of film and
music experience to AI-powered content.
ERIC PARKER
Eric Parker built his career at the intersection of sound and opportunity — producing for Sony at age 12, working alongside Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, and George Duke, and scoring trailers for Rogue One and Spider-Man. He co-owns Pro Entertainment Solutions, with clients including Nike, American Express, and the NFL, and has taught music entrepreneurship abroad with the U.S. State Department. Today he brings that same instinct for story and feeling into AI, heading the AI division of Make Believe Pictures as an artist working with high-profile global clients.
Chief Executive Officer
Jeffrey Kushon brings 35 years of experience behind the camera on high-stakes sets — including Showtime’s original series Dexter and its recent prequel Dexter: Original Sin, along with all five seasons of The Last Ship, now streaming on Netflix. That same eye for design, direction, and marketing now drives his work leading Cine Real AI, where he helps directorsprevisualize concepts, designers render sets, brands pitch campaigns, and artists develop videos — faster and more affordably than full production.
