Kaare Eriksen is a media analyst for Variety Intelligence Platform. A northeast transplant in Los Angeles, he previously tracked international television for Variety Insight, a service of Variety Business Intelligence under Luminate, before joining the VIP+ team to edit data-driven special reports and compose short-form commentaries, with a particular emphasis on the film and video game industries and how they increasingly intersect. He also manages the annual Variety500 publication in collaboration with the Variety newsroom. He is patiently hoping for a new “Deus Ex” game.
