Our Team
Meet the world-class talent behind the best board game trailers
Ori Kagan
CEO & Founder
As a kid, I was always drawn to fantastical worlds. This could be through directing my own Star Wars fan films in the backyard, plastic lightsaber in hand, or spending countless hours engrossed in board games.
I harbored dreams of becoming a big-time filmmaker, creating blockbuster movies, and crafting my own magical universes.
However, as I transitioned into adulthood (though some would argue I never quite made that leap), my perspective on the film industry shifted. The glitz and glamour I had envisioned faded, replaced by the stark realities of toxic work environments and the relentless grind of the 9 to 5.
This revelation sparked a journey of rediscovery. It led me back to my childhood fascinations and inspired a unique niche: merging filmmaking and board games.
Today, I sometimes pinch myself, realizing that I’m working and playing in the fantastic worlds I used to only dream about.
Even better, I’ve rallied a whole team around this mission: to bring games to life, tell their stories, and enable more people worldwide to share in this dream.
Daniel Yosef Abdu
3D animator and environment wizard
Daniel can take a rough idea and turn it into a living breathing 3D world in LESS THAN AN HOUR. When he’s not creating worlds at 2 AM he’s probably jamming Disney songs on his guitar with friends or creating 3D animations based on nostalgic tv shows he grew up with for fun.

Avital Korren
2D animator,
specializes in hand-drawn animation
Created our fantastic logo animation and some of our most memorable 2D animated videos together with her husband Shahar.
Addicted to board games, loves dungeon crawlers, deck building and asymmetrical games (did someone say Root??).
Shahar Korren
2D Character animator,
Bezalel graduate and video game developer
The other side of the super-team that is Avital and Shahar – bringing still characters to life with charm and energy.
Loved dungeon crawlers and arcade games.
Alexei Menardo
3D artist-slash-programmer-slash-content creator-slash-producer still chasing his childhood dream of becoming a game designer (We know he will make it soon!)
Loves to teach as much as play games, so favorite games lean toward those with simpler rulesets and smooth gameplay like Century Golem Edition, Scout and Ticket to Ride to name a few. Runs his own animation business and we are so thankful he helps us out with many of our videos!

Tal Steinberg
The sound duck in our crew – the secret sauce to our videos!
When he’s not crafting sounds, he’s crafting tunes, and vice versa, basically it’s what I do all day long, and I like it the way it is.
From time to time, he takes a break to watch films or soccer matches, enjoying time with friends and exchanging high-fives with everyone he meets. (We’ve been slowly converting him to board-gamism shhhh)

Johanness Lund Vvith
Scriptwriter and storyteller extraordinaire
Has always been fascinated by games, whether they’re made of pixels, cardboard or words, particularly when storytelling and gameplay mesh together to create a greater whole.
Favorite boardgame: Spirit Island.
