Engine’s Cannes and Emmy award-winning director Saman Keshavarz shoots new McDonalds tvc, two features & goes on press tour
Engine’s multi-award winning director Saman Keshavarz has continued his action packed approach to content creation by shooting a new TVC for McDonald’s whilst simultaneously working on two movies and a press tour.
The movies, Fight or Flight and Sounds Pussy are currently being produced in the USA with Keshavarz playing a major creative role in both.
Keshavarz was also featured in this month’s Shots magazine as part of a feature on his fast-paced style and the awards that have come his way as a result.
Says Keshavarz: “Life is a little crazy right now but that suits me just fine because I’m more than a little crazy myself. I’m very happy to be working with cool agencies like Engine in Asia and Pulse Films in the UK as they get me and what makes me tick and this leads to some very interesting projects.”
Keshavarz won the 2010 Clio Best Commercial, 2010 Gold Addy, 2010 Emmy Outstanding Commercial and 2010 YDA Cannes Silver for the TVC Game of Digital Freeze Tag he created and shot using Canon EOS and Powershot cameras. The music video he shot for Cinnamon Chasers’ Luv Deluxe achieved over 1,000,000 views online within a week and saw the young director nominated and then go on to win the prestigious South by Southwest festival in the USA. Luv Deluxe was also an official selection for both the 2010 Saatchi & Saatchi Directors’ Showcase and 2010 Vimeo Awards.
