Netflix approached me as one of six artists to reinterpret iconic scenes from Stranger Things, a delightful surprise as a fan of the show. Their aim was to generate buzz for the upcoming season while revisiting beloved moments and characters. I chose the memorable handshake reunion scene between Dustin, Steve, and Robin in the ice cream shop from Season 3. Recreating the characters in my style while preserving their likenesses was a fun challenge. My pitch deck proposed a dimensional twist where the background and characters transformed into a darker upside-down realm during their laughter and “lightsaber fight”. And then Robin’s brings them back to reality. The resulting video went viral with over 7 million views in a week.
