BAFTA-nominated Filmmaker
Oscar is a BAFTA-nominated filmmaker and Screen International Star of Tomorrow. His work has received many awards internationally, from the likes of Joss Whedon, Guillermo del Toro and Sir Alan Parker.
With scholarships from Fulbright and BAFTA, he attended at NYU Grad Film, alma mater of Scorsese and Ang Lee, under professors Todd Solondz, Spike Lee & Darren Aronofsky.
In 2015 his short The Kármán Line was nominated for a BAFTA and released by The New Yorker. He then signed a one-picture blind deal with Tobey Maguire’s Material Pictures.
In 2016 he and technologist collaborator Ross Goodwin created Benjamin, the world’s first artificially-intelligent screenwriter, and Sunspring, the first film written entirely by A.I, starring Thomas Middleditch. They followed this with 2017’s It’s No Game in which David Hasselhoff plays a version of himself generated by Benjamin, and again in 2018 with Zone Out, for which theoriginal Sunspring cast volunteered to be ‘uploaded’ into Benjamin.
Also in 2017, 20th Century Fox acquired Ben Mezrich‘s book Woolly: The True Story of the De-Extinction of One of History’s Most Iconic Creatures for Oscar to co-write & direct for the screen.
