Creative commercial and music video company DNA announced today the inception of a new media company called AND/artists and derelicts. Helmed by current DNA Executive Producer Missy Galanida and long time DNA producer Heather Heller, AND will continue to focus on commercials and music videos, but will also produce new forms of media such as branded content, web films, live experiential advertising and music. The directors at AND will be multitalented and multidisciplinary, capable of editing, shooting, creating original concepts as well as motion graphics, music and visual effects.
“The world of media demands us to evolve as rapidly as it has. AND will still maintain the high level of creative work that DNA is know for, but will also push forward into the future of advertising, responding to the needs in an organic and conceptual way” commented Heller.
DNA is an award winning Production Company with an arsenal of talented directors such as Francis Lawrence, Mark Webb, Rich Lee and Jean Baptiste Mondino. Launched by David Naylor, DNA has long been known as a creative company stewarding its directors from the early stages of music videos, to high-level commercials.

DNA has amassed a huge list of awards including MTV awards, and Grammy’s.
“AND is the next logical step for DNA. Our solid brand of talented directors and creative work will be a launching point for starting this new venture. I am very excited about pushing the company forward.” explains Galanida
AND has assembled a compelling roster of directors including Greg Brunkalla, Bec Stupak, Evan Dennis, Matt Stawski, Crooker Jackson, and Eclectic Method, all of whom have unique and cutting edge skills.
