Today commercial production company Traveling Picture Show Company welcomes director Gus Black for exclusive representation. Watch his reel here.
Black showcases his directorial fortitude through recent music videos for Nashville rock act The Wild Feathers, whose anticipated debut album released early this week. He's also directed videos for such bands as Green Day, Atlas Genius, Deftones and the Eels. "What really drew us to Gus was his conceptual storytelling abilities, his unique sense to bring a song to life in a special way; we know this skill set can also be translated when telling a brand story. Gus' work on the Wild Feathers had immediate impression on me, gorgeous visuals coupled with strong conceptual storytelling. He's a writer, director and songwriter too, a new multidiscipline perspective for us," says TPSC Executive Producer John Noble.
Black's contribution as director of The Wild Feathers single 'The Ceiling' and 'Backwoods Company' has aptly branded their rock spirit while blending fashion, beauty and relevance all into wonderfully crafted images. The recent Wild Feathers' album launch comes with much excitement about the bands promise, and a chance to show the quintet in a fresh new light. Gus was thrilled to create that visual narrative for the band.
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Gus Black has had a prolific career, with a background in commercial art direction, editing, photography, and music to expand his artistic repertoire. His partnership will extend TPSC's directorial offerings adding more variety and new vision to the TPSC roster.
"I'm truly excited to join TPSC," says Black. "After meeting their team, I knew I'd met my match. Everything fell into place in an organic way, which is important to me. I initially began directing by making videos for my own songs. That lead to working with other artists, and that has lead me to this point. The emphasis, for me, has always been on the work."
