Problem: Dead Island 2 needed a bold, attention-grabbing way to showcase gameplay while standing out in a crowded zombie genre. The challenge? Blending live-action storytelling with in-game footage—on a tight budget and an even tighter timeline.

Solution: I wrote, co-directed, and creatively led ‘ANOTHER DAY IN HELL.A.’—a 15-minute, multi-genre, fourth-wall-breaking short film that leans into L.A.’s over-the-top zombie chaos. Shot in just three days with a crew of 86, the film balances humor, horror, and meta-commentary while seamlessly integrating gameplay sneak peeks and Amazon Alexa Game Control technology.

Results: Delivered in just 3.5 weeks post-wrap, the film became a standout marketing piece, generating major buzz and setting a new benchmark for game-driven live-action storytelling.
