About Nav Lotay
Nav Lotay is a solo AI filmmaker building a space-opera universe of his own — the Homeward Universe — one handmade episode at a time.
In his own words, from his channel: “I use AI to make my ideas come to life.” His About also notes that he works in traditional film production finance, with credits including Wicked (Parts 1 & 2) and Jurassic World 4 — a day job inside the industry his AI work riffs on.
The Bounty Saga is his serial: a prequel story in the Homeward Universe following Bounty, a green ogre who runs the Salvage Cafe, as his brother Grogan lures him into a job that turns out to be a trap built around an old brain hub for compute. Four episodes are out (January–May 2026), and the fourth ends on a cliffhanger. The universe’s flagship is his short film Homeward; in the series’ first episode description he notes it was a Top 12 shortlist at the 1 Billion Summit 2026 — his own note, passed on as he states it.
His tool credits vary by episode — Higgsfield Cinema Studio, Google Flow/Veo 3, Kling, Freepik and Seedance 2 for visuals across the run, Suno for music, ElevenLabs for voices, Premiere Pro for the edit — and Episode 4’s end card signs the work “Made by yours truly”, under the words “Made with Human Imagination”.

Featured Work
Bounty the ogre wants a quiet life at the Salvage Cafe. His brother Grogan wants him to take one little job: an unattended asteroid mine, easy money. The mine is a brain, the job is a setup, and somebody out there is being paid to make sure Bounty doesn’t fail — the series is finding out why.
Where To Find Him
His channel also carries the Homeward short film and teaser, and the stand-alone shorts HAZMATT — Origins, Knight Wings and Mr Nice Guy.
