Director Tal Zagreba has signed with UNIT9 for U.S. representation spanning commercials, branded content, and music videos. This marks his first representation in the U.S. market. He continues to be repped in the UK by Great Guns.
Zagreba was at the helm of several major global campaigns, including the Pringles World Cup ad in 2022. He won a Cannes Lions Gold Award for his short film Vows the same year he received their coveted Young Director Award. Other noteworthy advertising award wins include the 1.4 Awards, New York Festivals, and the London International Awards.
Throughout his commercial career, Zagreba has worked with dozens of big-name brands including Netflix, Samsung, McDonald’s, Schweppes, Muller, Fiverr, and Volvo. He has also directed music videos for international artists such as Infected Mushroom, J.Views, Acollective, Orlinski and Fat Joe, all of which hold Zagreba’s aesthetic blend of the everyday with surrealist elements.
Zagreba said, “I love the intrepid spirit behind UNIT9. They’re a creative innovation company, and I see myself as a creative–first and foremost–who happens to be a filmmaker. I don’t see limits within filmmaking, only possibilities. Thankfully, everyone at UNIT9 shares that same value.”
“Tal, himself, encapsulates a spirit of daring,” noted Emily Malito, executive producer at UNIT9. “He is always one to push boundaries, take risks, and embrace new technologies, with the ultimate goal of telling the most visceral stories. Tal’s kinetic style, weaving dynamic camera moves, visual effects and animation, takes viewers on wild rides through real and fabricated worlds. His work spans multiple genres but never loses sight of the story he’s trying to tell.”
