A True Yunatic
Wes Ford isn’t just a filmmaker – he’s a worldbuilder with a director’s eye and a dungeon master’s heart. Whether he’s crafting a screenplay, designing a game, or leading a creative team, Wes creates stories that feel lived-in, layered and lit by magic.
Raised on adventure, fueled by imagination and fluent in Dungeons & Dragons, Wes brings the epic scale of fantasy together with the emotional weight of cinema. He’s not trying to escape reality – he’s trying to remake it, with better lore and deeper meaning. Wes isn’t just telling stories – he’s inviting us to play inside them.
The Inner Child
Wes never outgrew his inner child – he leveled it up. That kid is still rolling dice, sketching maps and dreaming up characters with tragic backstories and epic redemption arcs. You can feel it in his writing: the wonder, the drama, the joy of collaborative storytelling. Whether he’s behind the camera or behind the screen at a game table, Wes approaches each project with curiosity, mischief and awe – the key traits of any great storyteller (or chaotic good bard).
“Fantasy isn’t an escape – it’s a rehearsal for courage.” – Wes Ford

“I don’t just want to tell a story – I want to build a world people can live in, play in, and get lost in for a while.” – Wes Ford
Connected with the Yuniverse
Wes doesn’t just imagine worlds – he channels them. His stories feel ancient and fresh at the same time, connected to the big mythic loops of the universe. He creates with purpose, wonder and a deep belief in the power of story to shape reality.
He reminds us that the best worlds are the ones we build ourselves.
