Goodbye Kansas

It was a true pleasure to direct this trailer for the upcoming game “The Outer Worlds 2”. Working closely with Buddha Jones, the mission was to create a game trailer that includes everything a game trailer should include – but spun with tongue-in-cheek humour and a touch of delightful irony.

The trailer was released at the annual Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase on June 13th 2021.

Starting out in music videos and commercials, I've refined my skills in crafting captivating narratives, telling stories through the visual medium, and found a love of working together with actors to help them deliver their best performances.

With a background in illustration and storyboarding, I naturally transitioned into directing game cinematics and full CGI animation, diving head first into it without a clue of what I was doing. Realizing that all narrative storytelling is the same, whatever format, I've since moved almost completely into the world of animation, where my innate sense for visual communication has served me more than well.
‍
Collaborating with numerous leading game studios on trailers and in-game cinematics, I've helped them expand on their worlds, shaping narratives and adding authenticity, depth, and often – a touch of wit.

Driven by an obsession for pushing the limits of visual storytelling and a genuine passion for directing actors, my ultimate goal is to seamlessly bridge the gap between live-action and animation.
