B-Reel Films has signed director Daniel Brown for U.S. representation. The Seattle-based Brown received acclaim for his art film Color TV, No Vacancy. He has directed ads for clients including Nike, HTC, Beats by Dre, Amazon, T-Mobile, the Sundance Film Festival, Burger King, Fox Television and Wendy’s. He helmed the latter’s first Super Bowl commercial. And Brown’s music video exploits span artists such as ODESZA, Jon Bellion and Merk & Kremont.
Brown initially debuted in the industry as an animator at the Emmy-winning company Digital Kitchen before taking on writing and creative direction. He currently serves as the executive creative director at World Famous and has a close working relationship with the Amazon creative team. Previously, Brown was represented by UNHEARD/OF and Society as a director and as creative director of Oh, Hello.
“I first learned of Daniel through his No Vacancy work–it’s stunning and powerful,” recalled B-Reel’s managing director and executive producer Michael McQuhae. “It’s clear Daniel’s experience as a creative director really informs knowing what is possible when it comes to making a commercial.”
Most recently Brown wrapped campaigns with Amazon Web Services titled “Your Age” and “Curiosity Kid.” He is now working with Spider-Man and Moon Knight illustrator Ron Ackins on publishing a self-produced graphic novel, as well as developing a couple of feature-length projects.
Brown said he immediately felt right at home with B-Reel’s multifaceted nature: “They understand where I want to go and where I see my value.”
