Director Thomas Beug has joined bicoastal production company Chelsea Pictures for exclusive representation in the U.S. Beug’s work marries a sense of real-life storytelling with an eye for cinematic imagery. He continues to bring his talents to different forms and genres spanning commercials, documentaries, music videos, and TV shows, collaborating frequently with brands such as Puma, Adidas, Prudential, and Budweiser.
Beug began his career at Droga5 as employee #8 in 2006, and led a global PUMA campaign with top athletes such as Novak Djokovic, Kaka, Dwight Howard, and Tyson Gay. His continued work with PUMA also led Beug to direct Usain Bolt’s return to Jamaica following his multiple Gold Medal victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
On the documentary front, Beug directed the short Hangar B, which profiled a group of octogenarians devoted to restoring antique aircraft in a spare hangar of the Floyd Bennett Airfield in Brooklyn. Hangar B earned Best Documentary Short distinction at the FastNet International Shorts Festival, received a “Critics Pick” at the DOC NYC Film Festival, and brought Beug to the White House for AFI Docs.
