What if science could bring back the taste of an extinct species?

In collaboration with Wunderman Thompson, Vow, and Wefilm, I directed a film for The Mammoth Meatball — the world’s first meat created from the DNA of a woolly mammoth. Made entirely from animal cells, it’s a bold statement about the future of food: sustainable, cruelty-free, and driven by innovation.

A thought-provoking piece that asks us to rethink what we eat — and imagine a world where science and creativity can shape a better plate for the planet.
