Click 3X has added the directing duo of Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott, a.k.a. Cary & Jon. Previously Murnion and Milott worked under the Honest moniker and were most recently with production house Savage for commercials.
Cary & Jon just wrapped their first project with Click 3X, a three-spot package for Ford Fusion out of Team Detroit set to launch this week.
Murnion and Milott have written, produced and directed films such as “Satellite Car Chase,” “Falling Man,” “The Shortest Race,” and “Boob.” Their directorial feature film debut, “Cooties,” premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and was acquired by Lionsgate Films for domestic distribution and Universal Studios for international release this summer. “Cooties,” which stars Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson and Jack McBrayer, is a hybrid comedy/horror/sci-fi picture, demonstrating Cary & Jon’s penchant for combining genres.
“Cary & Jon’s quirky comedy, strong visuals and unique approach to storytelling make them a standout talent,” said Megan Kelly, executive producer, managing director, Click 3X Live Action.
Cary & Jon first met in New York at Parsons The New School For Design and have been working together for over 10 years. Their collaboration began with animations, but quickly evolved into other creative endeavors, including art installations, music videos, commercials and short films, and eventually the pair turned their focus to writing, producing and directing.
Cary & Jon’s work has been recognized with multiple projects featured at SXSW, Cannes, Webby Awards, FWA, Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase, Vimeo Staff Picks, Communication Arts Web Picks and ADC Young Guns.
