In 2011, inspired by the energy of music festivals, my brother Paul and I set out to add an extra layer to the electronic dance experience. The challenge was to move beyond abstract visuals and craft a concept where narrative, character, and conflict merged with music, creating a new kind of story.

I led the creative direction, brand strategy, copywriting, and film direction, shaping PRESIIDENTS into a cohesive narrative-driven experience.

By introducing story structures that complemented the music, we transformed live visuals into characters and plotlines, creating a fully immersive journey for the audience.
