Spike logan is a DIRECTOR who lives in los angeles.
And I hate directing from behind a monitor.
It’s way more effective (and fun, in my experience) to be up close and in the moment with the people on screen.
On set, I’m a deep believer in the magic that happens when you leave space for discovery and experimentation. Everyone in our industry knows making cool shit is hard. It’s important to me that my collaborators feel like making cool shit is fun, too.
Creatively, my favorite thing to do is blend humor and humanity. In a 30 second spot or a long form narrative, I want the audience to laugh at and feel for the people on screen.
When I’m not directing or writing, I’m singing a lot of Moana to my 2-year-old these days. I have also now memorized this book front to back (and back to front at this point).
In my 10+ years as a copywriter and creative director in advertising, I was lucky enough to lead work like The Unspoken Curriculum, Healthcare Is Caring, The Post Game Hug, among many other great (and not so great) campaigns.
I’ve been even more fortunate to have this work recognized for awards at Cannes, The Clios, D&AD, The One Show, The Webbys, The Shorties, PRSA Awards, and more.
