Freddy Waff
Freddy Waff - Artist, Storyteller, Atmosphere Architect

Freddy Waff is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the tactile world of production design and the imaginative realms of screenwriting. As a designer, he is revered for his grounded realism, period accuracy, and immersive texture-building entire worlds that feel worn-in, haunted, and honest. Whether it's a desolate prison in Brawl in Cell Block 99, a hauntingly nostalgic trailer park in The Strangers: Prey at Night, or a grindhouse-tinged hellscape in Bone Tomahawk, Freddy's sets don't just dress a scene-they live in it.

But Freddy is more than a worldbuilder-he's a narrative thinker. As a writer, his work reflects a love for genre collision and outsider mythologies. Projects like Trigger Mortis showcase his knack for blending the cosmic and the classic-sci-fi meets six-shooter, alien infection meets dusty frontier grit. His writing voice mirrors his design work: cinematic, bold, character-driven, and pulsing with atmosphere.

In both mediums, he gravitates toward stories of the damned, the desperate, and the defiant-people on the fringes of the American mythos trying to claw their way out. His visual references draw from Gothic Westerns, Chicana style, vintage pulp, and the scorched iconography of the 1970s and '80s-sun-faded motel signs, cracked vinyl booths, desert bones, and outlaw radio static.

Freddy's style-be it on screen, on the page, or in the bones of a set-blends dusty romanticism, DIY grit, and a punk Western soul. He makes the past feel alive, the present feel haunted, and the future feel like it's just around the corner in a beat-up Dodge Dart with a cracked windshield and a story to tell.
