Jörg Tittel is a writer, director, producer and designer of films, plays and games. Projects include graphic novel “Ricky Rouse Has a Gun” and sci-fi drama “The White King” starring Jonathan Pryce. He is the CEO of RapidEyeMovers Studio (UK).

Games have become the world’s dominant entertainment medium, our main forum, the all-encompassing artform. But what if games perpetuate the status quo with game mechanics? A call to action and quest for new meaning.

He produced the live action / animation “A Winter’s Journey” starring John Malkovich, the first feature to use Media Molecule’s Dreams to design and build its sets. He also created the game “The Last Worker”, released on VR, consoles, PC (and Playdate with spin-off title Skew) in March 2023. It was the only game in competition at the 78th Venice Film Festival. An impressive result for  Jörg’s first collaboration with VR pioneers Wolf & Wood. Their second, the design and music driven PS VR2 game C-Smash VRS reimagined from SEGA’s classic, is also the first game published by Jörg’s new company RapidEyeMovers.  “Directional”, a podcast on videogames and the creative rebellion with Chantal Ryan, available on Apple and Spotify.
