Commercial production company Voyager has added Brandon Kapelow to its directorial roster for his first exclusive U.S. spot representation.
Kapelow’s credits span work as a director, photographer and cinematographer. His focus is on exploring stories centered on real people and the challenges they face through their unique histories and cultures. Relying on his visualist background, he strives to create a symbiosis between camera and subject, merging a sensibility for naturalism with heightened aesthetics. His home is on the road–inspired by changing landscapes and the people who inhabit them.
“Across all of his work–whether it be delicate, emotive scenes for a Talkspace campaign, playful and charming vignettes for a Google anthem, or an inspirational tone poem for Amazon–Brandon has the rare ability to balance nuanced performances with striking visual concepts,” said Andrew Hutcheson, EP and co-founder of the Brooklyn-based Voyager. “He has a real knack for marrying pace with place, delivering us right to the heart of his characters’ worlds through a distinct lens that is uniquely his own.”
“It feels good to work with people who you know share your same values,” said Kapelow, who was raised in Wyoming and currently divides his residency between Los Angeles and Vancouver. “I’m deeply grateful to be joining the team at Voyager, whose work I’ve loved and followed since early in my career. We’ve already had the good fortune of collaborating on some incredible projects in the past year, and I’m very much looking forward to what’s ahead.”
Kapelow’s films have screened at numerous domestic and international festivals, including the Academy and BAFTA-qualifying Los Angeles Short Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival and Aesthetica Short Film Festival. His commercial credits include work for Amazon, Google, Facebook, Verizon, Samsung, Carvana, Talkspace, Vans and Ugg.
