    LOS ANGELES --

    Production company BRF (B-Reel Films) has signed director and writer Danny Sangra for commercials and branded content in the U.S. and U.K. 

    Best known for his satirical wit, Sangra has collaborated with brands such as Burberry, Samsung, BBC, Carolina Herrera, Elle and Vogue. Most recently, Sangra created films for Mercedes-Benz, Miu Miu & Balenciaga, the latter (Une Incroyable Excuse) taking second position in the top 10 Fashion Films by Business of Fashion in 2015. He’s hoping to take home the winning medal for his latest Miu Miu film- shortlisted in the Fashion & Beauty Short Form category at the upcoming Clio Awards on September 27.

    Sangra noted, “Even though many of my clients are based in fashion, I think my fashion films have been successful because they are not just for a fashion audience. My films break away from what was considered the stereotypical fashion film. The use of comedy, satire or surreal narrative draws in a wider audience.”

    Prior to joining BRF, Sangra was repped by production house Alldayeveryday.
     
    When Sangra isn’t on set creating, he spends his time making personal short films that act as a place where he can test out new ideas, further pushing the boundaries of creativity. His work has been part of the New York Fashion Film Festival in February 2012 and again in 2013. Sangra’s latest personal short film, entitled Directors’ Cuts: Pro Advice featured in Nowness, displays the tongue-in-cheek approach to his short films on everyday life.

    Sangra’s first feature film–Goldbricks in Bloom starring Zosia Mamet (Girls, Mad Men), Jake Hoffman (The Wolf of Wall Street, Ray Donovan), Waris Ahluwalia (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Darjeeling Limited) and Leo Fitzpatrick (The Drowning, Kids, The Wire)–rolled out in 2016 to positive reviews. 
     
    “Danny’s a truly modern filmmaker, constantly experimenting with his way of telling stories without being tied to any one platform,” said Pelle Nilsson, founder and CEO of BRF. “He’s a writer, illustrator, artist and director–in short, a creative force.”

    Director Ben Steiger Levine Joins Lord Danger For U.S. Spot Representation

    Monday, January 13, 2025

    Lord Danger, the creative production company that’s part of the Monstera Group, has added director Ben Steiger Levine to its talent roster for U.S. commercial representation. He joins a Lord Danger directorial lineup which includes Mike Diva, Cache Bunny, MP Curtet, and Parker Seaman.

    Steiger Levine shared that he was drawn in part to Lord Danger in that it’s a small, close-knit group of creative pros producing standout work. “They’re not a huge fish but rather a stealthy, nimble piranha made of beautiful rainbow colors that can adapt on a dime and devour,” Steiger Levine said. “All the directors on the roster have a voice. Lord Danger makes original images. Images with impact. Maintaining voice all while effectively selling products is the killer combination that makes work iconic, and this is Lord Danger’s priority.”

    Known for his flair for design and visual effects, complemented by his strengths as a storyteller, Steiger Levine burst onto the scene after earning a slot in the 2009 Saatchi and Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase unveiled at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity. He was also named a Young Gun by the Art Directors Club. Prior to joining Lord Danger, Steiger Levine was most recently with production house Greencard.

    His reel includes a visually arresting campaign for Jack Links, a campaign for Core Water featuring actress Hailee Steinfeld, work for Nintendo, and the oddly-moving “Intolerance” project for Natrel, the Canadian lactose-free dairy product line, which uses a faux documentary to tell the story of a giant of a man who owes his status to drinking Natrel milk. The effect of a towering man in his too-small house was achieved without any CGI, just using in-camera tricks and compositing. Steiger... Read More
