Moxie Pictures has added the directing duo/twin brothers Matthew and Nathan Fackrell, a.k.a. MEN, to its roster.
MEN has helmed spots for the likes of Oreo, Kinder Chocolate, Maglite and Panda Express.
After receiving MFAs in broadcast cinema at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif., Matt and Nathan Fackrell began writing and directing for Nickelodeon’s television series Yo Gabba Gabba!, for which they were nominated for a 2016 Daytime Emmy for Best Directing and a 2015 Emmy for Best Pre-School Series.
MEN was freelancing prior to joining Moxie. Earlier the duo had been represented by production house Wondros.
Matthew Fackrell earned inclusion into SHOOT’s 2011 New Directors Showcase on the basis of such work as a Pampers’ diapers spec spot which shows how a man reacts to his pending parenthood and other related developments–such as the baby shower, driving to the hospital as his wife goes into labor, and the actual birth of his daughter–by screaming at the top of his lungs. The spec ad was titled “Freaked Out.”
