    LOS ANGELES --

    Robert Bisi has joined Buck’s L.A. team of creative directors.

    Bisi began his career as an illustrator and 3D generalist working at Brand New School (BNS). He ultimately took on the role of creative director and partner, helping build and lead the team in the L.A. studio. In his near decade-long career at BNS, Bisi developed a versatile approach to his work, employing the use of multiple techniques including 3D and 2D animation, puppetry, stop motion, and live action. With a passion for animation and design, Bisi has refined a distinct style of storytelling that is evident across his body of work. 

    This multi-faceted approach to visual narrative makes Bisi an ideal addition to Buck, along with his years of experience leading initiatives for global brands.

    While at BNS, he helmed projects for clients including Google, Ebay, Target, Toyota, National Geographic, Chips Ahoy, and McDonald’s. He has drawn recognition from D&AD for his work on Ebay’s “Toys for Tots” interactive installation, which was also shortlisted for a Cannes Silver Lion. His work for National Geographic’s Brain Games mixed CG with puppetry and garnered an Emmy nomination.

    Bisi joins more than 100 designers, artists, and storytellers in Buck’s Los Angeles studio, with additional offices in New York and Sydney. Buck has turned out work for global brands like Apple, Facebook and Google.

    The list of directors with whom the 69-year-old has worked with more than once is extensive, including Wes Anderson,Yorgos Lanthimos,Paul Schrader,Lars von Trier and, now for a third time, Robert Eggers. "If it's good, you come back," Dafoe said plainly.

    The pair spoke about Eggers' adaptation of "Nosferatu" that hits theaters Wednesday, some of the challenges they faced making "The Lighthouse" — their first project together released in 2019 — and the unique relationship that exists between actors and directors.

    The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

    Q: Willem, I read that you called Robert after you saw "The Witch." What did you say?

    DAFOE: I want to meet you and I want to know who this filmmaker is.

    DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."

    That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman."
