I was executive producer and head-of-story on Playmobil: The Movie, which will come out in 2019! Very excited about this movie that was quite an adventure in independent cinema, which allowed for a very unique, quirky and charming tone! Not to mention I used to play a lot with these toys when I was a kid, even made stop motion movies with them…so I’ll file this one as another childhood fantasy come true!

Part of the fun was dreaming up really cool sets. Here are some super early conceptual sketches I did to start exploring a vibe for one of the movie’s live action sequences. See the end result with the ultra adorable and charismatic pre-superstardom Anya Taylor Joy below!
