Production company m ss ng p eces has added directing duo Big Red Button, and individual directors Fred Rowson and Will Hooper to its live action roster for U.S. commercial representation. Hooper, Rowson and Big Red Button are mainstays at London production house Blink.
The directorial signings come on the heels of m ss ng p eces and Blink entering into a partnership designed to transform the landscape of immersive storytelling and experiential work in the U.K.
Rowson is an award-winning filmmaker whose work takes an offbeat look at the world. Starting his career in music videos with the likes of Wet Leg, Little Mix, and Years & Years, he has recently been making waves in the advertising industry with work for Yorkshire Tea, Premier League, Tesco, and Amazon.
Hooper is a director and creative talent who made a name for himself with award-winning music videos and album campaigns for artists such as Idles, Declan McKenna, and Dua Lipa. His start in advertising has proved impressive, garnering hardware for his work for EE, Skittles, and IKEA.
Big Red Button is comprised of Johnny Burns and Pier van Tijn. They met just out of film school and have been directing commercials, short films, sketches, and long form comedy ever since. Their work is united by a cinematic visual approach, detailed production design, and a surprisingly subversive sense of humor. They’ve worked with clients including HSBC, Orange Business, Virgin Media, and Snickers.
“Johnny, Pier, Will, and Fred are incredible talents who we are so honored to introduce to the U.S. market,” said Kate Oppenheim, managing partner at m ss ng p eces. “Each of them is wholly unique, but equally hilarious, surprising and talented.”
