Role

Director

I directed and co-wrote Discover Hope, the eight-minute film that closed Xbox’s E3 2019 showcase. Built inside Halo’s game engine, the scene introduces the Pilot and reconnects the audience with Master Chief through vulnerability, tension, and renewed purpose. Early audio edits established the emotional rhythm before animation and camera blocking developed around it. The sequence became the foundation for the game’s opening cinematic.
