Monster Challenge

Dan Goldwasser

I served as Co-Producer and Costume Designer on Monster Challenge, a 13-minute comedy short written, directed, and scored by my brother, Michael Giacchino. The film is a satirical tribute to Japanese game shows and kaiju monster movies, starring Patton Oswalt and Ben Schwartz as they battle in elaborate monster suits on miniature city sets. Monster Challenge premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2018 and was later released on YouTube, delighting audiences with its playful homage to classic Godzilla-style cinema.
