Wonderstorm is a STORY and PLAY startup founded in Los Angeles, California, by Aaron Ehasz, Justin Richmond, and Justin Santistevan. From Avatar: The Last Airbender and Futurama to Uncharted and League of Legends, we feel lucky to have contributed to stories and games that have resonated with fans for many years. We’re currently building a Netflix Original animated series and a deep, engaging video game – both from the same world and vision.

Opportunities to create meaningful stories and games don’t come around that often. We’ve been around the entertainment and game industries long enough to see how many things can get in the way.  We’re building Wonderstorm as a place where we can all do meaningful, powerful work that we can be proud of -- the best work of our lives.
