'10 Cloverfield Lane' director Dan Trachtenberg gamed on his PlayStation every night after shooting wrapped for the day on the sci-fi thriller.
Dan Trachtenberg
Before he started making movies, the 35-year-old filmmaker reviewed games for The Totally Rad Show and even made a short film about puzzle game 'Portal'.
When he was helming the project - which starred Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher, Jr. - Trachtenberg relied on some pixelated action to relax.
In an interview with Glixel, he shared: "I never really lost touch with video games. Even while shooting '10 Cloverfield Lane', I brought my PlayStation with me, the most portable of all the consoles, and was playing every night. After we'd wrap, I would come home and my way of re-calibrating and resting for the night was playing a game."
When Trachtenberg directed his episode of 'Black Mirror', called 'Playtest', he de-stressed by logging onto 'World of Warcraft' expansion pack 'Legion'.
He said: "I bring the games with me wherever I go and it's a big part of my creative life for sure."
