Talk about high stakes filmmaking? A daring beach shoot took director Eif Rivera from hip hop to pop top as his first crossover commercial is now airing on national television for Bud Light. Rivera’s “Dropping the Beat with Lil Jon” spot was produced for Bud Light's agency, Energy BBDO of Chicago, by Creative Film Management (CFM). The Bud Light spot is Rivera’s first commercial crossover effort, having produced wildly successful music videos for top artists like Nicki Minaj, Puff Daddy, Lil Wayne, 50 cent, and others. He was voted America’s top hip hop director by the readers of XXL Magazine in 2014.
