Director Sebastian Reed has joined Little Minx for representation in the U.S. and U.K. Reed has directed over 150 commercials for clients that include IKEA, Reebok, Snickers, Nike, Pepsi, Puma, Volkswagen, Volvo, Mercedes and Mitsubishi.
Reed became partner of Stockholm-based Camp David Film back in 2002, the same year that saw the Swedish native nominated for four spots at The Young Directors Award competition at Cannes. Two years later he was honored as a “Future Gold Young Creative” at the Clio Awards.
Other wins for Reed include two Golden Egg Awards (Guldägget) in 2008 in Stockholm, one for best film “The Stick” for sports betting client Oddset through Stockholm-based Waters Widgren/TBWA.
“I was immediately drawn to Sebastian’s ability to achieve a cinematic look and feel, even in the confines of a commercial.,” said Little Minx president Rhea Scott. “Given his excellent body of work including beautiful car spots, rich storytelling, and tasteful humor he was a must-sign.”
Reed will continue his longstanding relationship with Camp David Films while pursuing music video and commercial work in the U.S. and U.K. under the Little Minx banner.

Additionally, Juliette Welfling, who couldn’t appear in person due to the Cesar Awards, was present via an earlier recorded video interview to discuss her work on Emilia Pérez. The interview was conducted by ACE president and editor Sabrina Plisco, ACE who also moderated the live panel discussion. Kerstein said that he was the beneficiary of brilliant and generous collaborators, citing, among others, director Jon M. Chu, cinematographer Alice Brooks, and visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. The editor added it always helps to have stellar acting performances, noting that hearing Cynthia Erivo, for example, sing live was a revelation. Kerstein recalled meeting Chu some eight years ago on a “blind Skype date” and it was an instant “bromance”--which began on Crazy Rich Asians, and then continued on such projects as the streaming series Home Before Dark and the feature In The Heights. Kerstein observed that Chu is expert in providing collaborators with... Read More
