How To Curate A Showcase Of Short FIlms With Source’s Jamie Madge.

Jamie Madge is the Worldwide Editor of the fantastic website SourceEcreative, what we now just call the Source. Jamie puts together a showcase of short films that he carefully curates to give the crowd a variety of emotions. Then we takes the show around the world. Literally. He likens it to a mixtape, because he has us, the audience, in mind when he choses the content and it’s order. Watch the shorts here.

For those that don’t use the Source, you’re missing one of the greatest tools to study advertising. It’s a comprehensive database of spots with extensive credits from client, agency and production.

Enjoy.

Bowling With Filmmaker Werner Herzog, He Loves My Commercial Directing Bootcamp Chicago.

2014_BAMPresents_WernerHerzog_613x463

After three intense days shooting for Toyota and Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles, I took up my usual post shoot ritual of bowling. Surprisingly, I ran into my favorite filmmaker, Director Werner Herzog. He indulged me with a quick exchange about my Commercial Directing Bootcamp in Chicago, August 13th, 2016.

I am so deeply humbled Mr. Werner Herzog had any knowledge of it. I am currently taking his Masterclass, by the way, which I recommend to every filmmaker. Here’s a prior Toyota spot, forgive me if I posted this. It’s one of over 25 I’ve made with my team.

Sign up today for my Commercial Directing Bootcamp today. Limit 20.
