SAVAGE x FENTY - CREATIVE DIRECTOR

For 2021's Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 the crew at Oddfellows worked closely with Rihanna’s team including Creative Director Willo Perron and director Alex Rudzinski to create a hypnotic desert-scape that would act as the throughline to all of the live action. Together with my co-director Fabian Molina and our incredible team, we concepted, designed and animated 5 psychedelic films that introduce you to the star-studded cast of this year’s production.
