Red Bull “Playing Fields”

In 2018 and 2019 I extensively travelled to Japan to co-direct a documentary about the Video Game industry in the land of the rising sun.

The series was divided in 4 episodes: Arcade, Esports, Indie and AAA

I’ve got to meet legends of the gaming industry such as Yoko Taro, Daigo Umehara, Toshihiro Nagoshi among many others. Myself being an avid gamer, it has always been a kid’s dream to work on a video game related project in Japan.
