Threaded Pictures has added director Josh Blaylock to its roster and will represent him in the U.S. for commercial and branded content motion work. His credits span such clients as Pizza Hut, Frito Lay, Grey Goose, Dr. Pepper and Shiner Beer.
“I’ve been tracking Josh’s career since I came to Dallas,” said Brian Hwang, executive producer of Threaded Pictures. “His photography is top notch, and his transition into directing motion work has been seamless. In the short time we’ve been working together, he’s shown a constant hunger to experiment and be creative. That eagerness to get in the studio to test and develop new techniques, even before a project begins, will be a tremendous draw for our clients.”
Recently Blaylock collaborated with Threaded Pictures and sister companies Republic Editorial and Infinite Fiction on projects for Estrella Jalisco, Cinemark, Rold Gold and Chuck E. Cheese. A true foodie at heart, he believes food always has a story to tell, and his lens is his tool to share it. With the benefit of a motion control rig housed at his studio, he spends the majority of his free time tweaking and perfecting his craft.
A native Texan, Blaylock began his relationship with cameras as a teenager in Hollywood, Calif., where he spent over eight years in front of the camera, landing roles ranging from primetime series to the Academy Award-winning film No Country For Old Men. Eager to learn the ins and outs of the industry, he used his down time on set to immerse himself in the various crew departments. He credits that background, and the exposure he gained from working with a wide variety of directors, for allowing him to smoothly transition from a stills shooter into a tabletop director.
“My number one take away from my experience growing up on set,” explained Blaylock, “was that while a director will always face numerous challenges and unexpected obstacles, maintaining a positive attitude and working with your clients and crew to creatively problem solve is key. In the work we’ve done in recent months, Brian and the team at Threaded have provided the collaborative environment for doing just that. I have no doubt we’re gonna do some killer work together.”
Threaded Pictures partner Carrie Callaway said of Blaylock, “His youthful energy and enthusiasm is contagious, plus the specifics of his skillset perfectly complement the joint talent pool across our sister companies. I can’t wait to see what amazing work our clients and our team produce in the coming months.”
Prior to joining Threaded Pictures, Blaylock was most recently repped by Noonday Films. He now comes aboard a Threaded directorial roster that includes TG Herrington, April Kirby, Chad Ostrom, Ben Tedesco, Two Headed Boy and Taylor Washington.
