Filmmaker Jessica Redish brings her passion to the podcast and I promise you’ll find her positive energy infectious. She’s lighting up the film festival scene with her short comedy “Airway” and still getting accolades for “The Last Croissant”.

Jessica talks steadicam, her roots in theater, working with actors and how nothing, not even a pandemic, can keep her from creating. I’ll post her short “Airway” and announce it on the show, once she’s off the circuit with the film. Until then follow Jessica on the socials.

Creative Directors Rich Terry And Matt Mowat Reveal How They Hire Directors.

Why do advertising creatives hire their director? Is it that first call or zoom? How important is the treatment? Well, as we wrapped two fantastic, safe days on set, I asked SVP/Creative Directors Rich Terry and Matt Mowat those exact questions. They gave me an impromptu interview in the back of my Cadillac. When Cinematographer Shane Kelly (“Boyhood”) walked by, we grabbed him into the conversation. Rich, a talented copywriter, has directed hundreds of spots himself, so his point of view on how filmmakers get hired is well-informed to say the least. Matt, an art director at heart, hired me for one of my first national spots back in another century, so you know he has great taste. Thank you Sherry Matthews Group and the great state of Texas Dept. of Transportation.

I’m fortunate to work with such a great team, and happy to snag them each and grateful for this inside knowledge. Here’s an older spot I directed for Rich & Matt, plus a pre-covid flu spot we did that Shane shot.
