I came across a spot for a barber shoppe on Instagram and tracked down the helmer, commercial director Ryley Burghall. Next thing you know we’re chatting filmmaking, music videos and all things about making commercials. Enjoy listening as I loved talking with Ryley. Here’s his Honda spot that I also love.

Tim Case is the Founder/Executive Producer of Supply&Demand. Tim and I attempted to zoom in the early days of the pandemic and ended up chatting on the recorded phone line, but trust me, getting to hear the scope from the EP of the top commercial and music video shoppe makes this episode a dandy.

Here’s a spot by Kacper Larksi, a director we discuss.

S&D also produces world-renowned music videos for artists including Taylor Swift, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Shakira and Gwen Stefani, while big screen feature successes include the Sundance Jury Prize-winning documentary The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom, and the Sundance and BAFTA nominated feature Blackfish.

Commercial Directing Masterclass has helped now 514 filmmakers globally with 100% 5 star reviews. My goal was 500 by end of 2020 so we did it!!

What Makes A Great Craft Service Table On Your Film Set.

My pet peeve is when the craft service table or “crafty” is nothing but sugary treats. I need protein and veggies. Also check out Tommy Davidson’s new memoire “Living In Color” and Marc Maron’s newest Netflix Special “End Times Fun” on Netflix. I have nothing to do with either, just know they’re good entertainment. My talented wife, filmmaker Jeannette Godoy, and I saw Maron live prepping the special. Hilarious.

I will occasionally direct dogs and cats.

While scouting or showing the agency my location selects, I’ve been using my iPad Pro and poorly drawn stick figures to effectively communicate. What are your tricks and treats?

Our first ever Filmmakers’ Sunday Mixer will be January 19th from 10am to Noon, we’re gonna talk all things practical pitch, prep, production and post… and hold a Q&A.

FREE to all current and alumni Bootcamp Filmmakers. Join myself and Editor Susan Munroe and Special Filmmaking Guests for a Q&A to follow up Commercial Directing Bootcamp. We’ll spend time together answering questions and discussing best practices from pitching through post production, as well as how to gain more slash better directing opportunities. I promise it’ll be fun!

I was fortunate to shoot with GSD&M Group Creative Director Bill Bayne & his partner, GCD Bill Marceau, for two Hilton brands this summer. Which meant free, yummy breakfast every morning, lobby happy hours, and great creative concepts. We sat down the day after our shoot to talk about how the agency collaborates within its walls, what he looks for in a filmmaker, and the rise of in-house production.

Bill’s passion for cultivating the best out of an idea & motivating his teams is similar to how we filmmakers attack a project. Shout out to the my wonderful creative team working under the Bills; Alex DiBucci & Kate Griffith, and agency producer Rolando Romero. Thanks for the fun opportunity.

Listen to the end of the show to hear Bill’s band, The Cold Irons.

Commercial Director Clay Williams makes the kind of spots I see on tv and salivate over. His humor is sly, subtle and understated even when the premise is crazy. Clay shares his thoughts on filmmaking, working with improvisational actors, crew and more.

Once an agency creative at TWBA/Chiat/Day, Clay started directing and never looked back. His collaborative nature is something we should all aspire to.
