Perry Tongate knows talent. After a decade of representing an award winning post and production company, Perry made the decision to launch his own sales repping company. While showcasing commercial directors’ talent, Perry strikes a harmonious chord with the agencies he serves in Texas and the Southeast.
"I’m excited for the opportunity to represent the talents of Taillight‘s commercial directors. Timothy Kendall, a director that has his finger on the pulse of comedy and effects-heavy action spots. Timothy recently directed the highly praised "Happy Honda Days" campaign starring returning spokesperson, Patrick Warburton. Taillight‘s newest addition, Austin-based Peter Zavadil brings unleashed creativity to his spots and applies it across commercial genres" says Tongate. Peter recently directed the new Krystal spot titled "Shock Therapy", which aired during the Super Bowl. "With 12 years of experience and such a noteworthy reputation, Taillight stands out in Nashville. It’s an absolute delight to work with such a diversified company."
New to the Taillight roster, Austin-based commercial director Peter Zavadil refers to himself as "tirelessly enthusiastic." Peter’s love for all things cinema can be seen in his work and can be heard in his conversations. Peter has a knack for casting and his ability to work with talent, as demonstrated in several of the Krystal commercials he has directed. Taillight has represented Peter for music videos for several years and is very happy to now represent all of his talents.
Director Timothy Kendall is best known for his diverse ability to direct performance-driven comedy. That, coupled with a keen sense of rhythm, pacing and visual style, makes for visual storytelling that captivates and entertains.
"I am very excited to have Perry on board," says Kristen Forrest, Executive Producer for Taillight‘s commercial division. "His experience and relationships in the Southeast and Texas will be a huge asset to our commercial division."
Founded in 2000, Taillight is a full service production company based in Nashville, Tennessee. Taillight develops and produces a wide variety of television programming and events, music videos and television commercials. www.taillight.tv
