Director Scott Weintrob–whose Walkers’ “Tweet To Eat” for AMV BBDO, London, earlier this year won a Cannes Bronze Lion in the Social for Mobile competition–has joined Los Angeles-based Wondros for U.S. representation. He had formerly been handled in the American ad market by ACNE. Weintrob continues to be repped in the U.K. by ACNE, London, the production house behind the Walkers project which also garnered honors at D&AD as well as three Creative Circle Awards. Weintrob’s work in commercials spans such brands as Hyundai, Lenovo, Cadillac, Volvo and Acura.
In addition to his spot work, Weintrob made a documentary on artist David LaChapelle as well as a fashion film highlighting Oscar winner Kim Basinger. The LaChapelle documentary provides an intimate look into the artistry of the photographer, and the Basinger short focuses on the depths of knowledge one gains from parenting and raising a child. Both projects were produced for Flaunt Magazine. Weintrob has also worked with such noted actors and artists as Terry Richardson, Macklemore, Snoop and Rick Ross and Lil Wayne.
Weintrob just completed shooting a feature documentary on the global phenomenon of streetwear with designer Bobby Hundreds that will release in 2016. The film follows the independent voice and message behind a series of brands and features interviews from celebrated names including Tommy Hilfiger and ASAP Rocky. Further filmed entertainment projects include directing four seasons of automotive series Top Gear for the BBC. Weintrob’s work was featured in the highest ever rated seasons of Top Gear and played in more than 200 countries.
Anne-Marie Mackay, chief creative officer of Wondros, said of Weintrob, “His extraordinary car work coupled with his proven skill as a documentary director makes him an exciting choice for Wondros.”
