Filmmaker Ross Haines shares how his career making spots has grown and tells us about his short film “Around the Band”. Ross got his start editing surf films in Hawaii, joined Beyoncé’s team for her HBO feature doc, Life Is But a Dream and helped launch DC Shoes’ internal film department.

We discuss “Around the Band,” as a visual poem comprised of vignettes, and shares stories from working with brands that include NIKE, FORD, TRAVELOCITY, RAM, LINCOLN MOTORS, JOSE CUERVO, FENDER, VANS, LEVI’S, GATORADE, and renowned agencies Droga5, BBDO, HUGE, R/GA, Edleman and Ogilvy. He also opens up about balancing personal projects with commercial work and his journey in the film industry.

Thanks to our editor Jake Brady We could not do the show without him and love this guy behind words. Need your pod spruced up? Check out his Podcast Wax.
