BLACKENED

I was brought on to direct the launch film for Blackened—Metallica’s signature whiskey, sonically aged with the band’s iconic tracks. I pitched the original concept and had the rare opportunity to craft a cinematic world that fused Metallica’s legacy with the bold spirit of the whiskey. Collaborating with my all-time favorite band to bring this vision to life was a dream realized.
