Dennis LenartCo-FounderAdHoc Studio

Dennis Lenart grew up wanting to work in both video games and film / television. At Telltale Games he got the opportunity to tell cinematic stories in an interactive medium, scratching both itches and falling into a format that he always wanted to work in, but never knew existed. Starting as a cinematic artist when the company was just a handful of developers making adventure games, he felt fortunate to be able to take the helm of the burgeoning cinematics department and help grow it from a small group of artists making interactive puzzles to a robust team of cinematographers and directors that would help visualize several renowned interactive stories over the next decade. He co-founded AdHoc Studio in 2018 to try and take the next steps within a format he believes has an ever-growing potential
