Improvisational genius/comic actor Pat Finn is on this very special episode! Pat and I have been collaborating together for almost 20 years making on Valley Toyota spots, and it’s always a blast. Agency folks always like casting actors that can improv, but Pat is next level. And he happens to be the one of the top three nicest humans in Hollywood. From sitcoms “Seinfeld” and “The Middle” to films “It’s Complicated” and more, Pat Finn creates memorable characters on screen and a lasting impression in person.

Pat shares hilarious stories, like sneaking into an improv class at Second City with Chris Farley. You’ll learn what it’s like to work with this comedic genius up close. Directors, take notes because Pat gives some great advice for us on how to get the most out of improvisors.. Even after all these years in the business, I’m still learning from Mr. Finn. So whether you’re an aspiring actor, seasoned director or just love a good laugh, this is an interview you don’t want to miss.

Here’s one of a few hundred spots Pat & I have done for Valley Toyota and our Lane Terralever friends.

Vasanth Seshadri is the Founder, head honcho and Creative Director of the ad agency in Singapore called The Sunny Side. Vasanth shares his non-traditional path into the ad world, starting out as an engineer before catching the creative bug. We talked about his globetrotting career that took him from Singapore to New York and back again. Click here to see some of the cool work The Sunny Side has been cooking up lately.

I find it fascinating to hear Vasanth’s perspective on building an agency internationally. We also dug into the differences between the ad scenes in Singapore, Asia, and good ol’ NYC. This was an insightful convo that gives a glimpse inside the mind of an entrepreneur pushing the boundaries of creativity in the industry. Thank you Vasanth.

Filmmaker Nema Vand: From Shah’s Of Sunset Star To VaynerMedia Spot Director.

Part Two – the exciting conclusion to my talk with Filmmaker Nema Vand. Presently, he is directing commercials at VaynerMedia and Eva Nosidam, the in-house production unit. A turning point came when Nema documented Mike Winkelmann’s (Mr. Beeple) historic NFT sale, which gained him recognition as a storyteller and director. Now, Nema’s goal is to direct feature films. As most directors start in commercials, Nema sees an opportunity in short form content on TikTok. Here’s Nema’s DraftKings spoof of a PSA.

Over the next year, Nema plans to create a series of narrative short films for TikTok completely independent of any brands. His aim is to attract an engaged audience and build a portfolio that shows off his storytelling skills. With proof of his abilities on the platform, Nema hopes to land brand partnerships that will help fund his transition into filmmaking. A great idea if ya ask me.

Enjoy part two.

With proof of his abilities on the platform, Nema hopes to land brand partnerships that will help fund his transition into filmmaking. A great idea if ya ask me.

Iconic commercial director Tom Kuntz kicks off Season Two. Over the course of his illustrious career, Tom has pushed creative boundaries with award-winning campaigns for Skittles, Old Spice, Tubi, Apple, Ikea, Bacardi, more Apple, Pringles with the guys hand stuck in the can… and so many more. He’s won every award in advertising, including two Gold Lions at Cannes Lions for his Skittles “Beard”, a Gold Lion for the iconic Old Spice commercial starring Isaiah Mustafa and consistently tops those Super Bowl polls.

We discusses his boundary-pushing approach to storytelling and how he constantly challenges his own creative process. Tom shares insights into working with actors to find the funny and taking risks to subvert expectations. He also reflects on pivotal moments in his career like directing Old Spice commercial and making an ambitious stop-motion Action Man spot. We go deep on stuff. You’ll love it.

This is Part One of my fascinating chat, and provides a retrospective look at Kuntz’s success in the industry through his lens of constantly reinventing and evolving his work.

Check out Tom’s work here and well as on his site here. The specific Kuntz’ spots we talk about:

Jeanne Mailloux works on commercial sets as a union Electrician. (And spells out to me the difference between the Grips and Electricains.) She shares fascinating insights about her start in filmmaking meeting Nick Cage, working on “Birdman” and being a female Electrician in that male-dominated department. We delve into reflections on human suffering, ego, humility, and how Buddhism has shaped Jeanne’s understanding of life and art. Her passion for mental health advocacy is clear. 

I never know where these conversations will go, but sure apprecate Jeanne’s openess and sharing her journey. Check out her substack here.

Just moments before this insightful and engaging chat, Adweek named Mischief “US Agency of the Year” for excellent brand-building for clients like Tubi (loved the trio of Super Bowl spots), Peet’s Coffee, Tinder and more. Adweek also called out the stellar branding of Mischief itself. Even more impressive given they opened during the pandemic. In 2022, Mischief was named Agency of the Year by Adage Magazine, Agency of the Year by Campaign US and the second most innovative agency by Fast Company. Bravo!

Previous to Mischief, Greg served as CCO of BBDO NY, the prestigious shoppe also named Agency of the Year at The One Show, ADC and The Webbys multiple times under his rule. He’s won two Emmy’s and multiple Cannes Grand Prix. You’ll love our talk.
