Director Wayne McClammy has signed with bicoastal/international Hungry Man for commercial representation. He was formerly repped by Oil Factory, Los Angeles.
McClammy is perhaps best known for the short video Who’s F*cking Matt Damon?, which was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live and has gone on to generate considerable viral buzz. The short, which stars actor Damon and comedian Sarah Silverman, continues to gain fans and hits on YouTube. It was not only directed but also edited and co-written by McClammy.
McClammy got his start in directing by making short films that were featured in the Austin (where he received the Audience Award), Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Seattle International Film Festivals. Two of his shorts gained exposure in the well-known Texas theater chain, The Alamo Draft House. He soon got noticed by the likes of Bob Odenkirk, Jimmy Kimmel, and Sarah Silverman. Kimmel was so impressed he brought McClammy on board to be the comedy segment director for his ABC show.
In addition to his writing and directing for Jimmy Kimmel Live, McClammy is a director on The Sarah Silverman Program for Comedy Central and is in pre-production to direct the 20th Century Fox comedy Cool School.
