Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials – Propaganda PSA

Description:
Created to promote Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, the second installment in the blockbuster dystopian science fiction series, this spot reimagined the film’s themes through the lens of a mock, World War II–style propaganda public service announcement. The piece drew on the film’s narrative of survival in a harsh, post-apocalyptic world while satirically echoing wartime recruitment messaging.
I directed the project from concept through completion, interfacing with the client, designing the central character, directing voice talent, and leading a team of artists. My creative contributions spanned animation, compositing, editing, and sound design, resulting in a stylistically bold and immersive campaign piece.
