Jeannette Godoy is a first generation, Mexican American filmmaker. She comes to directing from a varied and eclectic background, starting her career as a choreographer where she worked in film, television and commercials. She is most widely known for having choreographed the celebrated music video, Baby Got Back, by Sir Mix A Lot. Her initial foray into directing earned her a trip to Cannes for a commercial entitled, A Boy & His Tire. This spot for Bridgestone Tires which is known for it’s beautiful visuals and subtle yet, emotional performance, received several prestigious nominations including the Young Director Award, as well as a spot in SHOOT Magazine’s New Director’s Showcase.

She also spent many years as a stylist, working in all aspects of the film industry. Some of her celebrity clients included, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Rosario Dawson, Serena Williams, Dwayne Wade and more.

Jeannette is a passionate advocate for Down Syndrome Awareness and would love to see inclusion within the advertising community for people with disabilities.  Her documentary “Free 2 Be Me” aired at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games, screened at many film festivals and will soon be airing on Dance Network.

Jeannette was most recently shooting for Nike Training Club and her career focus is to work on projects that empower, enlighten and do something positive for the world. She currently lives in Los Angeles, where she directs commercials and documentaries and has a side job as a full time shuttle driver to her teen daughters.

Noted comedy director Barton Landsman has done spot work for ESPN, Sony, Anheuser Busch, McDonalds, Taco Bell, AT&T, and FedEx, among others, runs the gamut from observational to larger-than-life humor. Regardless of stylistic considerations, Landsman clearly has a knack for shining a light on human eccentricities: a current Avocados From Mexico campaign (Arnold/Boston), for example, depicts a soccer mom whose loyalty to her child comes up against an insatiable passion for avocado wraps. Recent work also includes a Gorilla Glue campaign (Possible/Cincinnati). Landsman has won multiple Cannes Lions and other honors for his accomplishments both as a director and agency creative. He served as Creative Director/Copywriter at BBDO New York and ACD/Copywriter at Kirshenbaum and Bond before stepping behind the camera.

Landsman began as an agency copywriter in Chicago. Writing and creative-directing jobs eventually took him to San Francisco and New York City. His work was recognized by several national and international award shows and he won multiple Cannes Lions and One Show pencils for his work on Pepsi, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Frito Lay and more. Landsman next tried his hand at directing. Again, his work garnered national and international awards, including a Gold Lion at Cannes for Nestle “Zoo” (Lowe Strateus/Paris). Indulging his interest in darker comedy, Landsman wrote and directed Banana Bread, a short film about a man whose neurotic mother has no idea how dangerous his job really is. The film screened at more than 50 festivals throughout the country, winning numerous awards.

“I appreciate comedy built on an element of truth, but sometimes flat-out freaky or strange works nicely too,” said Landsman, who considers Portman Group “Drunken Monkey” (M&C Saatchi/London) an all-time favorite among the spots he’s directed. “I try not to impose one specific sensibility on the work, and let the script guide me.” Of longer-form branded work, such as a client-direct Web film he recently directed for the Reluctant Trading Experiment, Landsman said, “It’s fun to tell stories in 30 or 60 seconds. But if some company wants to do longer pieces like the classic BMW Film stuff, I’ll probably start weeping with joy.”

As evidenced by one his signature spots - Discounthotels.com “Eggheads” - if you want to make a comedy omelet, you have to break some eggs. With work honored in Cannes, The One Show, the LA Shorts Fest and more, Jeff Aron Lable has done just that, employing a combination of visual and reality-based comedy that does not shy away from a certain mischievousness that might best be described as “laughter-inducing discomfort.”

Jeff grew up outside of Boston and got his start as an art director at celebrated LA agency Ground Zero. Trying his hand at directing, he found himself featured in the SHOOT New Directors Showcase, the New Directors Showcase at Cannes and on the BBC “World’s Funniest Commercials”. At that point, Jeff traded his award-winning career as an agency art director for an award-winning career as a director.

In addition to the Discounthotels spot - in which a young “egghead” learns the perils of karate - Lable highlights include work for Pepsi and Toyota, as well as Natural Market “Birth,” a health food ad depicting a woman giving birth to a full-grown man. Recent work includes an HBO/ESPN commercial with Dwayne Johnson (Ignition), five spots for Clorox (via DDB) and a commercial for Dow (Bader Rutter/Milwaukee), starring - what else? - an exploding time machine.

Lable is also at work on a serious short about an adult couple with autism who - suffering from a painful sensitivity to touch - attempts to overcome their isolation and physically connect with one another in the most intimate way possible. “Regardless of the genre or tone,” Lable explains, “I like to surprise people.”

Born in Virginia, raised in 3 countries, 4 states and a commonwealth, Daniel Sheppard knows a thing or two about writing bios in the third person. He has won countless participation awards for his elementary and middle school sports programs and was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2006.

He has an agency background where he spent many nights increasing logo sizes and trying to figure out how they get all those cinnamon swirls into every bite of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Legend has it, he once showed up to work naked with nothing but his normal clothes on.

Daniel got into commercial directing when he met a drunk guy that said, “Hey, man. You should direct.” He’ll never forget that day.
