Forza Horizon 5
¡Go!
There’s a voice inside all of us that’s long been ignored. One that’s less brain, more gut. Less talk, more action, more feeling, more FUN. And in the open world of Forza Horizon 5—where you can drive wherever and however you want—it’s the only voice worth listening to. The spirit of “¡GO!” is all about reframing impulse as a positive, and the amazing adventures it can lead to when you do. So go wild. Go big. Go rápido. Just ¡GO!
Role: Sr. Art Director
THE GETAWAY DRIVER
Our film focuses on one man discovering his very own voice of impulse and embarking on a wild joy ride through Mexico. Our hero (played by Cristo Fernández from Ted Lasso) is a ride-share driver who is used to helping others “getaway,” while he himself remains stuck in a monotonous routine. Beholden to the whims of others, he rarely gets a chance to let loose. Until one day a passenger enters the car and lo and behold, it’s himself.
In the style of magical realism, what will unfold is a wild adventure spurred on by his own impulses, manifested in human form. As he tears across Mexico’s diverse terrain, he encounters a mix of highly sought-after vintage and new cars. After our hero has fulfilled every whim, his alter-ego magically disappears—but his hunger for adventure lives on.
A SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION
Mexico is a country with many different species, biomes, and terrains. In fact, it’s 2nd in the world when it comes to ecosystem biodiversity. The game’s locale, as well as Microsoft’s commitment to reach carbon neutrality, inspired the team to work with Good Planet Innovations and create a completely carbon neutral production.
