I was thrilled to have the opportunity to direct the official announcement trailer for FC 24, created with our talented team here at The Mill and alongside our incredible creative partners at EA. Bringing this film to life with our artists in Frostbite, featuring some of the most recognized and celebrated athletes in the world, was a unique and exciting challenge. It's been a few years since I’ve hung up my boots so virtually dusting them off to help announce the future of “The Worlds Game” to such a vast and excited audience was a dream come true.
