HJELTE

[3 EPISODES - 2017]

Andrew White - DIRECTOR/CAMERA/EDITOR/GFX

Leena Xu - PRODUCER

This project was, in a way, a return to my roots. In 2013 I discovered the world of esports through the world of SSBM. I was immediately enraptured. I quickly became a competitor myself and taught myself to edit video by making Melee combo videos.

Then, in 2017, I returned to my roots to work with TSM pro player, Leffen on the 3 part docuseries ‘Hjelte’. Through this project I explored the state of one of the oldest scenes in esports and the evolving, complex story of the controversial figure Leffen.
