Director Sorrel Brae has joined the roster of Native Content, the boutique commercial production shop headed by founder Tomer DeVito. Based in New York, Brae has been working independently the past year after being with Humble and prior to that, Anonymous Content.
Brae’s credits span such brands as Procter & Gamble, the NFL, Mozilla Firefox, Bank of America, American Express and Toyota. His first project with Native was PhRMA’s “Go Boldly.” He has garnered various honors throughout his career including an ADDY, a One Show award, a Webby, and the Young Director Award at Cannes Lions. His independent short films such as A Film by Vera Vaughn and The Trial of Barnaby Finch have screened at festivals around the world and were named Vimeo Staff Picks.
“As a director, finding the right home comes down to the people and their vision, and when I talk with Tomer we just have such a strong connection – we align not just on filmmaking but on our values and the way we see the world,” said Brae. “Everyone at Native has an appetite to try new things, and I’m excited by their energy.”
DeVito said he’s “admired Sorrel for some time; he’s an exceptional storyteller who really knows his craft.”
Brae becomes part of a directorial lineup at the Los Angeles-based Native Content which also includes Ben Jacks, Eivind Holmboe, Iain Mackenzie, Rich Lee, Russ Lamoureux, The Cronenweths, and Tom Dey.
