LVL 01 · THE STUDIO

I MAKE FILMS, GAMES & MUSIC FOR EVERYONE.

This is the creative studio of Yaan Batho. I make films and series — like Orion's Barrel, a sitcom set in a space bar — build browser games, and produce music.

It's all built in public, and most of it you can watch, play or listen to right here on the site. Have a look around.

CREW FILE · 001

BATHO-01 — Resident Astronaut

Keeps the lifts oiled and the cogs turning. Usually found pacing the studio floor or the rafters; rides the lift between shifts, grapples when he's in a hurry, and will absolutely tell you about pies if you click him. You can pick him up and drop him — he packed a parachute.
