About

Hi, I’m Derek Lieu! I’ve helped make trailers for Half-Life: Alyx, Among Us, Psychonauts 2, Spelunky 2, Firewatch, The Long Dark, and many more by very talented developers and studios!

I creative direct, edit, and capture the vast majority of my trailers; when you work with me you know I’m involved in every aspect of the trailer’s production. I’m very selective of the games I work on which mean I’m always excited to work on every job!

I have over 10 years of experience making trailers for both big AAA games and small indie games and during all phases of production, from nascent game prototypes with only a handful of assets, to fully featured games long in development. I love trailers' unique ability to help people find games they love and make developers proud of their own work.

I grew up in the suburbs of Boston, MA, attended NYU where I majored in film, got my start as an assistant at the prestigious Giaronomo Productions movie trailer house, and worked as an editor at Hammer Creative in Los Angeles before starting my own business making game trailers which now resides in New Jersey.

I'm a dedicated martial artist, and enjoy video games, movies, cooking, cats, and teaching about making trailers!

You might find my cats Uni & Ebi somewhere on my site :3
