About.
Born in New Jersey, Dan Chosich is a director, editor, and creative leader whose work spans games, documentary film, and brand design. He earned a BFA in Film from Montclair State University in 2008 and an MFA in Motion Media Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2010, the year he moved to Seattle.
His career began on the Halo 2 documentary in 2004. He went on to work with Imaginary Forces, Loyalkaspar, and King & Country, contributing to broadcast identities and campaigns for Disney XD, VH1, and Comedy Central. In 2011, he joined Microsoft’s Halo team, where he built an internal creative production team and directed documentaries, trailers, and launch content for the franchise.
His work expanded from filmmaking into interactive storytelling. As creative director of Halo Channel, he led the development of a viewing platform for Xbox One, PC, and mobile that earned two design patents. For the Ridley Scott-produced Halo: Nightfall, he worked across writing, directing, and editing on fifteen companion short films, with production in Iceland and Ireland.
From 2017 to 2022, Chosich directed narrative and cinematic work for Halo Infinite, shaping two and a half hours of cinematics and more than fifteen hours of dialogue. He also directed the game’s E3 2018 announcement and E3 2019 Discover Hope reveal. His work brought together performance direction, narrative design, editorial, and the visual language connecting the game’s characters to its world.
In 2022, he became a founding director at NetEase’s Jar of Sparks, leading narrative and level design for an original game universe. Working within a 35-person team, he developed its characters, history, progression, and playable spaces. He returned to Xbox as a creative director in 2025, directing the 53-minute documentary Making the Moment, redesigning two recurring video series, and editing Double Fine’s Kiln reveal for Xbox Developer Direct 2026.
Since June 2026, Chosich has served as Head of Creative at Endurance Energy. His work includes the company’s rebrand, creative direction for two website launches, and films translating subsea geothermal engineering into human stories. He directed and edited Adélie, a 14-minute documentary about the company’s pilot deployment, and produced the announcement film for its $54 million Series A.
