Directors Tim Story and Maurice Marable have joined brother, a bicoastal production company founded by exec producer Rich Carter and director Theodore Melfi, for commercial and branded content representation.
Story began his career directing music videos for artists including N’ Sync, R. Kelly and India Irie, and his 2002 hit movie Barbershop launched a feature filmography that includes Hurricane Season , Fantastic Four, Think Like a Man , Ride Along and their sequels. His expansive repertoire in both visual and narrative storytelling lends itself naturally to the short form world.
Marable, formerly of Believe Media, brings over a decade of spotmaking experience to the brother roster. Honing his craft as creative director/filmmaker in Residence at HBO, he has created promos for some of television’s most successful series, earning an Emmy nomination in the process. His White House Correspondents’ Dinner promo for Veep starring Julia Louis Dreyfus (with cameos from Joe Biden and Michele Obama) has over 1.7 million views on YouTube. Marable moves between commercial work and promotional campaigns, and in 2012 founded Brim + Brew, where he concepts and directs campaigns for broadcast networks.
Plans call for brother to work closely with Marable to help build the Brim + Brew company profile, while offering the brother roster a chance to concept and create work through the promo company.
