    Anderson Wright
    WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. --

    Anderson Wright, a filmmaker who creates content for brands and global agencies, athletes and artists, has joined the directorial lineup at Bullitt for commercials and branded content in the U.S. His short documentary NZINGHA, featuring Olympic fencer Nzingha Prescod, won a Clio and a place on the shortlist at Cannes’ Young Director Awards, and was published by National Geographic and The Atlantic.

    Other noted projects include a spot for the app Duet Display, which has been seen over 18 million times online, and Where We Dwell which was licensed by Snapchat and released on its Discover platform during the 2015 Super Bowl. Anderson has also directed engaging and original projects for Chevrolet, Mercedes, Bose and the Vimeo Staff Pick. Every Night Is Emo Nite.

    Wright did his branded work independently and then via Workhouse Creative prior to now coming aboard the Bullitt roster.

    His career began on a plane flight during a fateful talk with a Hollywood producer, Lynda Obst. She had gone to Pomona College and at the time Wright was a freshman there. That common bond helped spark a conversation which led to an internship with Obst, providing a great intro to the film business.

    While learning about the feature film and studio process, Wright became increasingly fascinated by the power of short-form storytelling, which he pursued with passion following his graduation from college. Cinematic visual style and thoughtful portraits of human experience are hallmarks of Anderson’s approach.

    Bullitt EP Luke Ricci described Wright as “an incredible and unique talent,” fitting into a roster of company filmmakers who work in entertainment and branded projects and experiences. 




    Daniel Craig Embraced Openness For Role In Director Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer”

    Tuesday, November 26, 2024

    Daniel Craig is sitting in the restaurant of the Carlyle Hotel talking about how easy it can be to close yourself off to new experiences.

    "We get older and maybe out of fear, we want to control the way we are in our lives. And I think it's sort of the enemy of art," Craig says. "You have to push against it. Whether you have success or not is irrelevant, but you have to try to push against it."

    Craig, relaxed and unshaven, has the look of someone who has freed himself of a too snug tuxedo. Part of the abiding tension of his tenure as James Bond was this evident wrestling with the constraints that came along with it. Any such strains, though, would seem now to be completely out the window.

    Since exiting that role, Craig, 56, has seemed eager to push himself in new directions. He performed "Macbeth" on Broadway. His drawling detective Benoit Blanc ("Halle Berry!") stole the show in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." And now, Craig gives arguably his most transformative performance as the William S. Burroughs avatar Lee in Luca Guadagnino's tender tale of love and longing in postwar Mexico City, "Queer."

    Since the movie's Venice Film Festival premiere, it's been one of the fall's most talked about performances — for its explicit sex scenes, for its vulnerability and for its extremely un-007-ness.

    "The role, they say, must have been a challenge or 'You're so brave to do this,'" Craig said in a recent interview alongside Guadagnino. "I kind of go, 'Eh, not really.' It's why I get up in the morning."

    In "Queer," which A24 releases Wednesday in theaters, Craig again plays a well-traveled, sharply dressed, cocktail-drinking man. But the similarities with his most famous role stop there. Lee is an American expat living in 1950s... Read More
