I moved around a lot as a kid, so every few years I had to acclimatize to a new reality, and I think as a sort of people pleasing survival instinct, being performative and a bit of a clown became my default. I was inherently shy and acting up and playing characters was a way I could comfortably find a connection with people. And SHOCKER that shy kid who liked to clown around ended up in theatre school.

After graduating I started acting professionally in TV, Films, and commercials. I got to work with Todd Haynes, I bought New Balances after I saw him wearing them. I thought there was something iconoclastic about sensible footwear grounding an art house giant.  I went out to audition for 'strange friend', 'weird guest #2', and 'creep' over and over.

Though often there was a lot of time between roles. Time to sit around, worry, and question everything. Sadness. During one of these existential spirals I decided the cure was to explore making my own work. I was lucky to have a friend who knew what he was doing with a camera and we collaborated and made a few things that weren’t awful.

Filmmaking isn't something one can just go out and practice alone like baking or smiling, so I've learned through collaborating, stumbling, doing, screwing up, listening, and following my instincts and trusting that what visuals move me, will move you. Many little projects later I now find myself smitten with directing commercials, and now here you are reading about it.

I enjoy embracing deceptively simple observations in order to reveal a truth we can all identify with. This can result in playful humour, or find an empathy that adds a depth of emotion or humanity to a story. No matter the tone, well observed details and moments are what great storytelling is all about.  I love creating work that feels both timeless, and very right now, this very moment, and I believe a strong visual language meaningfully rooted in the feelings we wish to emote, is essential.

Raised in The North of England and with a background in motion design, clients include Tommy Hilfiger, Hyundai, Converse, New Balance, Zeiss, Adidas, Bayer, Dazed, Huawei, Canon, Microsoft, Sennheiser, and the BBC. 

His ‘The Explorers’ series for Huawei has been viewed 28 million times on Facebook alone, and his promo for the band Oh Wonder was the highest rated ‘Video of the Day’ ever.

Mike’s curious exploration of the human condition led to his nomination at the Young Director Awards. 

She has picked up awards at all the major shows, including Cannes, One Show, D&AD, and in the global top 10 at the Young Guns Advertising Awards. 

As a director, she’s created campaigns for brands including Visa, Spotify, Absolut, Smirnoff, The New Yorker, Tanqueray, and Beats by Dre. Her short film Live Fast Draw Young premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2015 and went on to play globally. More recently, Stacey directed the documentary feature films Underplayed and Olivia’s Rodrigo’s Driving Home 2 U. Her latest long-form project was one of Hulu’s most watched docu-series of all time: The Secrets of Hillsong.


With an edgy yet refined approach that cuts through the noise, Kaius has created award-winning work with global brands like Nike, Fluff, Google, Budweiser, Square, Jack Daniel's and Youtube. His knowledge and attention to detail never overshadow his ability to tell powerful narratives while eliciting incredible performances. Kaius is an emerging and original voice, unbound by mediums and committed to creating work that influences culture.

Quinn specializes in creating multi-platform content excellence. Skilled in strategic process, creative collaboration, and people relations with notable clients and A-list celebrities, he harnesses the energy of every project to make it shine. When he's not directing, Quinn is an avid gardener, occasional tennis player, and self-proclaimed dancer.

Later in life, Jordan began writing and directing theatre, helping performers tap into the essence of a character and the soul of a script. He quickly developed a knack for storytelling, which evolved into a career of writing, performing, and directing plays that toured across Canada.

Eventually, Jordan gave up his salty isolation and moved to Toronto to explore a life in film. He found his way into creative commerce and spent three years as a Director in Residence at Cossette Communications, honing his process and interacting with brands like McDonald’s, General Mills, and Intact Insurance. 

Despite the pressure of the big city, he has kept his Maritime storytelling sensibilities- finding interest and humor in the darkest of places and the most hopeless of situations. 

Focusing on crucial truths embedded in every storyline, he brings a grounded and confident thoughtfulness to his commercial and narrative work which aims to shift culture toward a more humane, just, and inclusive place.

He is a Young Director Award Winner, a 1.4 Award Winner, a 2x Clio Award winner, a D&AD Graphite Pencil Winner, and has been shortlisted for AICP and Webby awards.

Felix is currently working on a feature documentary and is in development on his first narrative feature.

They bonded over a shared love of cinema, music, photography, and design. Since joining forces as a directing duo in 2014, they’ve developed their filmmaking voice together. As they continue to evolve as creators, they seek out stories that explore truth, originality, and social good. 

Working with both real people and experienced actors, Mark & Spencer are able to bring out performance that feel natural and real. This has lead to successful campaigns for iconic brands including AT&T, Adidas, Jack Daniel’s, eBay, MTV, and Lincoln to name a few. In addition to commercial work, they collaborate with many non-profit organizations, most recently directing a global campaign for Doctors Without Borders. 

Before directing full-time, both Mark and Spencer spent time as professional editors for commercials and music videos. This background informs their style, leading to films with a holistic conceptual approach and structure. They still love to cut their own work when they have the time. 

In 2014, M&S founded Brooklyn-based creative production company Curfew. Collaborating with both emerging and veteran filmmakers, Curfew is a creative hub dedicated to pushing filmmaking into the future and inventing new ways to tell stories. 

When they’re not doing film stuff, Mark plays ice hockey and Spencer hugs his sheepdog.
