RSA has signed director Drake Doremus for commercials and branded content in the U.S. and U.K. Doremus is currently in postproduction on the Scott Free film, Equals, a futuristic love story set in a world where emotions have been eradicated. Executive produced by Ridley Scott, Equals stars Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart.
Doremus’ feature filmography enjoys a connection to Sundance. Most recently, he released Breathe In, starring Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones and Amy Ryan, which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. In 2011, his feature Like Crazy starring Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin, won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture at Sundance. It was released by Paramount the following October. And Doremus’ 2010 feature Douchebag also made its world premiere at Sundance and garnered critical acclaim.
In addition to feature films, Doremus helmed an episodic social film for Intel/Toshiba titled The Beauty Inside which received three Grand Prix awards–Film, Cyber, and Branded Content & Entertainment–at the 2013 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, as well as a 2013 Daytime Emmy Award. Doremus directed the lauded Toshiba project via B-Reel (his production company roost prior to moving over to RSA) for agency Pereira & O’Dell, San Francisco.
Doremus has also directed commercial projects for brands including Google, Samsung, Tylenol, and Facebook. The Google piece, “Fear Less,” was named a SHOOT Top Spot of the Week (9/12/13).
Doremus is a graduate of the American Film Institute.
