How Filmmaker Riley Robbins Went From Music Videos to Top Fashion Commercials.

Director Riley Robbins has literally made hundreds of fashion films, music videos, short films, and commercials. He’s helmed projects with Pharrell Williams, Vogue, Karl Lagerfeld, Adidas, Dolce & Gabbana, A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne and more. 

Self-taught and creating his own opportunities, Riley never stops. I got to see him directing in action at Void Studios recently. Check out a nice BTS piece on his site here. Special shout out to Director/DP Ben Brady for the introduction. 

“Diamond In The Rough” is now streaming on the Creator+ platform! Please support my wife, filmmaker Jeannette Godoy’s romcom debut. It’s “Mean Girls” meets “Happy Gilmore” and crowds love it. Here’s the trailer.

Why Would Any Filmmaker Take Commercial Directing Masterclass Online?

My dream is to have a film school in the desert, and oh that will happen. But too many filmmakers have asked for an online version of my popular Commercial Directing Bootcamp, so it’s live and ready for you to dive into. Pardon the lack of creativity in the name, yup, it’s Commercial Directing Masterclass. (After completion, you get $100 off Bootcamp anytime.) The behind the scenes footage from my actual shoots, with agency interaction and running the crew and actors is my best answer to everyone asking to shadow me on a gig. Shout out to my man Director/DP Ben Brady for shooting the session and the BTS.

Huge kudos to filmmakers sending me the spots they’ve made during COVID19 quarantine. Podcast alum Kiran Koshi hit it out the park with #stayhome, Sean Lunski used hsi kids for Nutella and Daniel Woolfolk shot my book in the freezer. Kevork Aslanyan shared his latest gig, and it’s so well done I had to share. All are clickable or at www.jordanbrady.com enjoy. Please send me stuff.

This is 7 minutes of just me rambling. 

We’re All Normal, Right?

Helen is sick, and I am traveling to the World Premiere of my new documentary film “I AM ROAD COMIC”, so here’s a happy track by my son Benz and Jamir “Croosh” Malik. It’s called “We’re Normal” off their “Mooky Island” mixtape. You can download it for free here.

Jamir scored original music for my film, so watch out for great things. Benz spits mad flow. I’m just so proud that these high school guys made their own product! As you know, that is what it’s all about. I’ll be back next week with more commercial filmmaking chat and great guests.
