Fish & Chips Poker League is a long-running monthly poker league with a tradition of creating playful, pop-culture-inspired promotions for select games. Working collaboratively with my husband, we bring the ideas to life through promotional videos, posters, props and other details—combining art direction, graphic design, photography, prop and set styling, video production and editing.
The videos are featured in event emails rather than created as social-media content. The projects range from entirely handmade productions to recent experiments with generative AI, with each one built around the visual language and humor of its inspiration.
Napoleon Dynamite

Set & Prop Styling • Photography • Video • Editing
Inspired by the wonderfully awkward visual world of Napoleon Dynamite, this promotional video was created almost entirely by hand. We sourced and built the props and environments—including carpet and background materials, food and other small details—then photographed and filmed the scenes to create a poker-themed interpretation of the film's quirky opening sequence.

Vintage White Christmas Poker Night
Photography • Prop Styling • Video • Editing
Inspired by the classic visual world of White Christmas, this promotional video was created largely by hand. We sourced and styled real ivy against a red backdrop—then photographed the elements and assembled the final piece in Premiere.

Frank Holme Faux Art Exhibition & Website
Concept • Graphic Design • Image Adaptation • Web Design
Inspired by the striking woodcuts of Frank Holme, this tongue-in-cheek faux art exhibition reimagined his imagery through the world of the poker league. Original artwork was adapted with poker-specific details and designed as a series of posters mimicking framed works with museum-style labels. The posters were printed and installed together at the event, while QR codes extended the joke to a custom-built faux exhibition website featuring the collection.

The Shining at Overbrook
Concept • Generative AI (Runway) • Art Direction • Design • Video Production & Editing
When a league game was hosted at a member's home on Overbrook Street, the name practically demanded an Overlook Hotel treatment. We turned the coincidence into an intentionally absurd Shining-inspired promotion, casting league members as familiar characters and leaning fully into the ridiculousness of seeing them dropped into one of cinema’s most iconic—and unsettling—visual worlds.

Willy Wonka-Inspired Poker Night
Concept • Generative AI (Runway) • Art Direction • Design • Video Production & Editing
A more recent experiment in AI-assisted creative, this promotional video reimagines the candy-making world of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory as the creation of poker chips. Working from the event concept, I used generative AI to develop custom imagery and footage, then combined and edited the elements into a playful cinematic promotion for the event.Generative AI was also used to reimagine league members as characters for the accompanying poster.
