Über Content is excited to announce the addition of director Keith Rivers to its roster for worldwide commercial representation.
Rivers, a 28 year-old Seattle native, began making films at the ripe age of 12, using his father’s VHS camera. From those early Monty Python parody films, Rivers evolved into directing extreme ski films for various competitions and festivals. After graduating from the Art Institute with a degree in Film, Rivers began as an editor for Microsoft’s X-Box Live Marketplace and that position soon led to opportunities to direct several Microsoft online campaigns.
Rivers’ brand of unique storytelling can be seen in his films for Chevrolet, Volvo, Microsoft, and Amazon, as well as in the extensive work he’s done for non-profits like World Vision and Shake Poverty. His sports background and adventurous spirit has helped to fuel his energetic documentary style, which is often accompanied by rich colors and highly stylized camera techniques.
“Keith is at the forefront of a new generation of young filmmakers who are pushing the boundaries of what we call content. We’re excited to be partnering with him and we’re looking forward to doing some amazing work together,” says, Preston Lee, Partner/Executive Producer of Über.
Whether he’s accepting an award in Cannes for his Chevy-commissioned “Seattle to Yellowstone” piece, singing along with school kids in Bangladesh, or dangling a camera out of a helicopter over Washington’s Cascade Mountains, Rivers’ inimitable approach is anything but ordinary.
