ABOUT HANZO

HANZOHANZO is the alter ego of split personality Hans-Christoph Schultheiss, writer, designer and director for commercial films and branded entertainment content.

Strongly influenced by Manga and Anime, like Akira, Ghost in the Shell or Appleseed, he took his first steps towards design and filmmaking by working on classic cel animation projects at the age of 16. After graduating from school, he consciously decided to fall into professional insanity and indulge his passion for working late.

This made it possible to obtain a design diploma with honors whilst working full-time and freelance for a number of globally recognized animation studios and production companies.

His recent work on Riot Games’ ‘GODS’ ft. New Jeans was named Esports Content Of The Year at Esports Awards and earned a screening at Annecy. His ongoing, story-driven sci-fi episodes for Oakley have pulled in millions of views and counting.
