Noah Pink

Noah Pink’s name probably rings a bell if you’ve binge-watched those brainy docudramas or been sucked into the Tetris nostalgia trip. The guy’s filmography is a weird blend of genius-level minds and pop culture obsessions—hard to pin down, honestly, but that’s kinda the point. He was one of the brains behind "Genius" (2017), that National Geographic series where they pick apart the wild, messy lives of icons like Einstein and Picasso. Not your average biopic—way more raw, less sugarcoating. You get to see all the flaws along with the brilliance, and Pink’s style kinda thrives in that chaotic, human mess. Then he flips the script with "Tetris" (2023). Yeah, the falling blocks game from the ‘80s. Only, it’s not just about the game—it’s this high-stakes, almost spy-thriller look at how the game actually made it out of Soviet Russia and into everyone’s living room. There’s KGB, boardrooms, nerds in thick glasses, and more drama than you’d expect for a story about matching shapes. Pink’s writing gets all the weird, pulpy energy of that era and still manages to make it feel real. Now, "Eden" (2024) is the wildcard. Not much out there yet, but the buzz says it’s another curveball—something about survival, maybe a bit of dystopia, but it’s all hush-hush. If you’re into creators who zig when everyone else zags, Noah Pink is one of those names you end up following just to see what kind of oddball story he’s going to serve up next.
