Serial Pictures has added directors Bruce St. Clair and Chris Searl to its U.S. roster. Both directors are now represented by Serial according to founding partner/EP Violaine Etienne and EP Michel Waxman.
European director St. Clair, formerly with Biscuit, is known for his highly composed imagery filled with humanity on spots for Audi, Toyota, Vodafone, MINI and many more. St. Clair’s work has received recognition at the Cannes Lions, Clios and D&AD competitions. The director attributes his sophisticated visual sensibility to being raised by a mother who was head stylist at Vogue London, and the fact that he and all of his brothers attended art school in England (he in Bournemouth.)
Australian director and photographer Searl founded the magazine Monster Children over 10 years ago. He has flowed seamlessly among the roles of creative Director, photographer and director, creating innovative campaigns for brands in the youth lifestyle, fashion, music and travel arenas. Corona, Levis, Coke, Bonds and Lee Jeans are examples of brands which have tapped Searl’s aspirational yet genuine visual sensibility. His combined background allows him to create striking stills for campaigns he directs. Searl’s portraiture subjects include the likes of Beck, Julian Casablancas, Joel Edgerton, Dave Grohl and Kelly Slater.
As a founding partner of Monster Children, Searl continues the successful magazine’s growth, focusing on compelling forward-thinkers in a variety of subcultures, including surfing, skating, art, music and photography.
Serial maintains an international lineup of directors and enjoys a partnership with Anonymous Content. The association offers clients reach into the worlds of TV, feature films and talent management.
