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.
Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes

CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."

"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
