Christian Gossett is currently working at the innovative animation studio Lex & Otis on Zack Snyder's Netflix anime series 'Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas' as well as two other animated series yet to be released.
In 2019, Gossett directed two episodes of the inaugural season of 'Pandora' for the CW.
Christian Gossett's impressive career began in 1992 when he was one of the first designers hired by Lucasfilm Licensing to retro-design the Star Wars galaxy, at the tender age of 23. His radical concept drawing of a 'double-bladed lightsaber' was personally approved by George Lucas, who was also the first to suggest and design a curved-handled variant. Seven years later, this design would be made famous as Darth Maul's signature weapon in The Phantom Menace. Since then, no new Star Wars show has been released without some new kind of lightsaber.
Gossett's unique talent has been sought by renowned visionaries such as Sir Richard Taylor, Peter Jackson, and Tim Burton. He has designed characters and weapons across the entertainment industry, working on projects like Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' and Disney's 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Gossett's videogame career began at Activision on the PSX, where he quickly moved from concept design into a one-man cinematics department, writing, storyboarding, directing, voice directing, and performing motion capture across several Activision titles. He has since designed for Sega, Namco, Microsoft, and others, with his most recent game being as a Story Artist for Activision's flagship franchise Call of Duty.
In 2009, Gossett transitioned to live-action directing, and his first film, 'Only Child', won the prestigious ECA award from the International Cinematographers Guild (Local 600) and played at premiere festivals worldwide. His one fan film, writing and directing the infamous star trek inspired 'Prelude to Axanar', won him a Geekie award in 2015.
Gossett's ongoing project, The Red Star, has sold over a million units worldwide, was voted among the "Top 100 graphic novels of all time" by Wizard magazine, and is in development for television with show runner Ashley E. Miller (THOR for Marvel, XMen: First Class for Fox.).
