Director Tom Routson Joins Framestore Pictures
NEW YORK --

Framestore Pictures has added director Tom Routson to its roster. He joins a talent pool curated by Framestore Pictures’ EPs Jennifer Siegel and John Duffin.

Routson first established himself on the agency creative side of the business at such shops as Goodby Silverstein & Partners and Fallon. He then successfully diversified into a directorial career at Tool of North America. Known for his comedic flair, Routson has among his directing credits Adobe’s “BS Detector” for Goodby, Diehard’s “Getaway” for Y&R, and the interactive iPad film Touching Stories. The director has repeat business with such brands as Bud Light, DHL, Pennzoil, Allstate and the California Milk Processors’ “got milk?” fare. 

Routson’s work over the years has garnered numerous Cannes Lions, AICP Show honors and Clios. His move to Framestore Pictures reunites him with EP Siegel; the two had worked together earlier at Tool.

Framestore Pictures has upcoming productions spanning live action and virtual reality. Routson said of his new roost, “There’s massive potential within the directorial space for VR and signing with Framestore Pictures opens up those possibilities. With Framestore Pictures I’ll be able to pioneer humor into new mediums as well as accessing the traditional set.”
