Craig Lew has harnessed his “very particular set of skills, acquired over a very long career” to single handedly deliver the animated music video "The Game Killers." Craig worked tirelessly as a crew of one serving as writer, director, producer, motion capture artist, character designer, production designer, animator, sound editor, video editor and composer. Craig’s latest award winning screenplay “Hatchet Boy and Cigarette Girl” is inspired by true events from his grandfathers’ exploits as leaders of opposing Chinese Tong Highbinders during the Prohibition era in California, and how the marriage of his parents stopped an all-out war between the families. Craig believes micro creative teams are more agile, quicker to market and, as a result, will be more profitable. “The Game Killers” is proof of Craig’s forward-thinking approach to the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, entertainment and storytelling.
