    Director Henry Busby has signed with production house Rattling Stick for commercials and branded content in the U.S. and U.K.

    Busby comes over to Rattling Stick from production company Voyager Creative where his career was launched. His client list to date includes Everlast, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and NBC Sports Network. Growing up playing sports among a community of storytellers in Alabama, Busby has seen his work instinctively, thus far, focused more on athletes and telling their stories and experiences; however, his ability to appreciate people in all guises–and to translate their sad, funny, poetic stories–stretches far beyond sports. 

    Busby has also made music videos for artists including Algiers, Symmetry and Land of Talk. Busby has even experimented with an interactive love story, Endless Summer. His work has an authentic and unfurling approach to storytelling, with plenty of emotion, and has been featured by Huffington Post, NOWNESS and NPR, with numerous Vimeo Staff Picks along the way. 

    In 2017 Busby was named “Next Director” by D&AD, and was picked for “Young Gun 15” at The One Club For Creativity.

    Martin Scorsese On “The Saints,” Faith In Filmmaking and His Next Film

I saw people trying to behave well within a world that was very primal and oppressed by organized crime. As a child, you wonder about the saints: Are they human?"

    For decades, Scorsese has pondered a project dedicated to the saints. Now, he's finally realized it in "Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints," an eight-part docudrama series debuting Sunday on Fox Nation, the streaming service from Fox News Media.

    The one-hour episodes, written by Kent Jones and directed by Elizabeth Chomko, each chronicle a saint: Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, John the Baptist, Thomas Becket, Mary Magdalene, Moses the Black, Sebastian and Maximillian Kolbe. Joan of Arc kicks off the series on Sunday, with three weekly installments to follow; the last four will stream closer to Easter next year.

    In naturalistic reenactments followed by brief Scorsese-led discussions with experts, "The Saints" emphasizes that, yes, the saints were very human. They were flawed, imperfect people, which, to Scorsese, only heightens their great sacrifices and gestures of compassion. The Polish priest Kolbe, for example, helped spread antisemitism before, during WWII, sheltering Jews and, ultimately, volunteering to die in the place of a man who had been condemned at Auschwitz.

    Scorsese, who turns 82 on Sunday, recently met for an interview not long after returning from a trip to his grandfather's hometown in Sicily. He was made an honorary citizen and the experience was still lingering in his... Read More
