Bicoastal production house m ss ng p eces has brought Henry and Ssong–Henry Chen and Ssong Yang-aboard its directorial roster. Known for the Google “Homeward Bound” spot and well-received Hozier “From Eden” music video, the directing duo has been working with m ss ng p eces in recent months, turning out the Cannes-recognized Delta “Innovation Class” campaign and most recently a moving Amex documentary on “Tiny Superheroes.”
Chen and Yang first teamed up at the Rhode Island School of Design where they learned to explore, discover, and create. They galvanized around both the idea of human expression and also a focus on global and compelling stories that need to be told. Last year, they traveled to India to direct “Saroo Brierley: Homeward Bound,” a short piece for Google that has over a million views and was awarded the Young Directors Award at Cannes, won the AdStar Silver Innovation Award (2013), screened at Google Zeitgeist 2013, and was one of TED’s “10 Ads Worth Spreading” of 2014. The short is currently being developed into a feature film.
