About Us

We want everyone to be able to easily share their story in video, regardless of their skill. Inspired by a career of building tools & experiences for self expression in the tech industry, Hannah Donovan (product & design) teamed up with Dr. Geneviève Patterson (science & technology) in 2018 to create Trash. A venture backed start up, Trash has also won two National Science Foundation awards.

Why use AI to help make videos?

The blank canvas is scary, it’s much easier to react ta generated draft than start from nothing. You shouldn’t need to know every single editing technique to get a vibey music video. AI is a powerful creative tool and collaborator.
