Bicoastal ArtClass has signed advertising creative-turned-filmmaker Tatjana Green, who makes her entrance into the U.S. market. A graduate of the elite Bauhaus Design School in her native Germany, Green saw advertising as a platform for honing her natural eye for aesthetics. Right out of the gate, Green landed her first job at 18 years old as a graphic designer for art house Butter, where she was mentored in all forms of media production.

One of Green’s first independent projects was the narrative short, Ole Boy, which she co-directed with Jamie Newman. Shot at a local bar in just eight hours, the film is a burst of improv among a lively cast of characters. Green has directed a range of commercials, shorts, series, and music videos, earning recognition from the Webby Awards to screening at international film festivals all over, from Berlin to Toronto. Green’s work spans such brands as P&G, Absolut, Toyota, Tassimo, US Foods, The Economist, Warner, and Walmart. Green was recruited to ArtClass by executive producer Kate Aspell….
