Casey Stein is a director and the co-founder of Little Wooden Toys, a video game studio that creates stories that blend film and video games. He believes the best work comes from collaboration, curiosity, and a sense of play.
He’s created projects with Nike, IBM, American Express, Verizon, Amgen, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, David Bowie, Bon Jovi, Jimmy Fallon, Joe Biden For President, Kamala Harris For President, WeWork, Watches Of Switzerland, Marriott, New York Theatre Workshop, Universal Music, Sony Music, Warner Music, Interscope Records, and many more.
Through his studio Little Wooden Toys, Casey and his longtime collaborator Ben Zeiger have premiered interactive films at Tribeca and NYFF, with their latest project, Great Northern, now in development.
When he’s not directing, you’ll find him on his bike, traveling, or volunteering around the tri-state with his family.
