    As the saying goes, put an infinite number of monkeys at typewriters and eventually one of them will write Hamlet. A new spot for VoiceStream Wireless via Publicis Seattle gives that scenario an updated twist by depicting two chimps typing and sending instant text messages to each other-even if their dialogue is hardly Shakespearean.

    Stadium Creative Group Signs Director Rodney Lucas

    Tuesday, February 11, 2025

    Stadium Creative Group has added filmmaker Rodney Lucas to its U.S. commercial roster. Known for his raw, street-level storytelling, Lucas hails from the South Side of Chicago and is now based in Brooklyn, NY. He’s built a career at the intersection of documentary and commercial filmmaking, creating emotionally charged, culturally rich narratives for brands like Nike, Adidas, Beats by Dre, U.S. Bank, Amazon, Square, Verizon, Puma, Clarks Originals, and Toms Shoes.

    Lucas’s latest documentary, Black Hercules, an intimate exploration of Black bodybuilding, was officially selected for the Shorts program at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, marking a major milestone in his career.

    Additionally, Lucas was tapped to direct the Netflix series Untold: The Murder of Air McNair, which investigates the meteoric rise of NFL quarterback Steve McNair and the complex, tragic circumstances surrounding his shocking 2009 murder.

    “Rodney is an undeniable force in modern storytelling,” said Samy Mosher, founder and director at Stadium Creative Group. “His ability to craft deeply human narratives--whether in documentary form or commercial campaigns--sets him apart.

    Lucas’ work has earned numerous accolades, including a Tribeca X Award, a Webby, 13 Telly Awards, three AdStar Awards, and Cannes Lions shortlist recognition. He is also the founder of Southside Films, a cinematic house dedicated to collaborative Black storytelling.
