THE MARTIAN

Role: Senior Writer / Creative Strategist

Concept: Despite being a dramatic space thriller, The Martian was a story that was also known for its quirky sense of humor and very real, down-to-earth characters. We wanted to introduce the book’s humor while further humanizing and building deeper backstories for the main crew. To that end, we created a short prologue film framed as declassified NASA footage showing the crew's response to a 10-day isolation training exercise.
