Commercial director, Graeme Joyce has joined Limey, a Hollywood-based production company owned and operated by executive producer Andrew Denyer.
Joyce comes over to Limey from Moxie Pictures. Previously he was with HSI and Untitled.
Denyer said he was drawn to Joyce’s storytelling prowess mixed with his deft use of visual effects and design elements. The EP cited Joyce’s body of spot work as well as his short film Lifetripper–currently on the festival circuit–which centers on a middle-aged mechanic as he questions his future while taking the bus to and from work. Joyce also wrote the short which is his first venture into a longer form narrative film.
Joyce’s commercial credits over the years span such clients as Target, Mercedes-Benz and British Airways. He got his first major break in the music video arena.
Joyce was raised in The Cotswold’s, the heart of the English countryside. After a stint at art school, a summer visit to Los Angeles sparked an interest and a career in visual media. During time spent on Los Angeles commercial sets, Joyce shot some footage of a friend’s band using a Bolex hand cranked camera. Lip-sync was fudged in post and the resulting spec was seen by Scott Weiland who hired Joyce to direct two clips for his band Stone Temple Pilots. The Music Video Production Association (MVPA) awarded the “Directorial Debut Award” to the band’s video “Wicked Garden” directed by Joyce.
Joyce now lives in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake area. He joins a Limey directorial roster that includes Scott Weintrob, Agust Baldursson, and helming team KN+SAW. Weintrob has recently completed work for Acura and Lenovo. His new short film Two Legged Rat Bastards, produced in partnership with Limey, RED and Avid, is having its European premiere later this month at the 55th BFI London Film Festival.
Limey’s sales force consists of independent reps Jared Shapiro (Moustache) on the East Coast, Jeanie DiMaggio in the West and Texas, and Janice Harryman (Barker) and Jim Robison (Jim Robison Reps) in the Midwest.
Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
