Unicorns & Unicorns has added director Ryan Feng to its collective of creatives. His work spans such clients as Gillette, Nike, Adidas, Jameson, Def Jam, Gelatoria Uli and Maybelline.
Of his partnership with the Unicorns team, Feng said, “It’s an incredible honor to join this fantastic lineup of immensely talented artists and be part of a company that’s so adventurously forward-thinking. Legendary times lie ahead and I can’t wait to start on this adventure together!”
Feng had earlier been repped as a hybrid photographer/director by Creative Picnic in NYC. Connecting with Unicorns marks his first time being repped purely as a director.
Outside of his work as a filmmaker, Feng is an primetime Emmy Award-winning choreographer with an extensive career as a show director and dancer himself. The Emmy came in 2016 for three routines in America’s Best Dance Crew.
A master of movement, Feng has a brand of dynamic storytelling that focuses on capturing captivating life energy through the lens. More than that, he has a deep understanding of the creation process coming from the talent side, and has held many positions in all steps of production from creative director to editor which enables efficient, reliable work and streamlining vision top to bottom.
“Ryan is an amazing addition to the Unicorns creative team,” shared company EP and managing partner Adrianne McCurrach. “He has a stellar aesthetic, a knack for elevating the social-first approach and, maybe most importantly, is a total blast to work with. I’m so excited to see what we create together!”
