Bob has shot somewhere in the region of 1260 commercials in 42 countries and has been honoured with his work being in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The question is how did this all happen? Bob started in the film business working for his father who ran an ad agency and television station. As a teenager he shot film for sports and news shows for the station. He also worked doing fashion stills photography for advertising…what a way to learn the business! He went on to graduate with a Juris Doctor degree as a lawyer. After graduating from law school, Bob returned to his true passion of filmmaking. Firstly, as a casting director and then teaching acting workshops for commercials. After this he worked as a Line Producer and ultimately running his own production company in New York. Bob then opened a creative service company where he was Creative Director. He won the first global Heineken campaign, with his concept of Taste the World Taste Heineken. Bob was Creative Director, director and cinematographer for 80 commercials shot worldwide. This campaign was the official start of the director phase of Bob’s career. Bob has received the highest film industry recognition when Eastman Kodak chose him to create, direct and shoot a film showing how great film can look. The result is “Film the difference” which Kodak is displaying throughout the world in venues including Cannes Film Festival. As we said at the beginning Bob’s work television commercial work has been chosen and displayed in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Bob lives in Los Angeles.
