The award-winning filmmaker joins for commercial representation.
Station Film has welcomed award-winning filmmaker Kevin Bolger to the company for commercials.
Renowned for the realism in his work, Bolger's commercials are noted for their cinematic visuals and relatable storytelling, capturing honest moments both big and small. His latest work for the newspaper Atlanta Journal-Constitution features real people and actors in a tribute to the modern city of Atlanta. Other highlights include campaigns for Toyota, Dove, and Athleta.
“I instantly appreciated Kevin’s work, his talent for storytelling and great eye for visuals that distinctively combine photorealism and portraiture,” said Caroline Gibney, Founding Partner at Station Film. “He also has a really refreshing perspective about maximizing every opportunity to make something really special.”
Bolger's Create Your Way anthem film for hair styling brand Andis (2022) features free-spirited individuals like the Compton Cowboys along with well-coiffed horses and dogs, crafted into beautiful vignettes. His ADDY-winning Dare to be You for Utah Manufacturers Association (2017) portrays young people embracing vocational training as a rewarding educational path.
Bolger had been following Station Film after tracking a few directors on their roster on Instagram. “After I spoke to Caroline, Stephen, and Michelle, I knew these were the people I wanted to work with. I even reached out to a few directors and DPs, and everyone had lovely things to say. I jumped on the opportunity.”
“Kevin is a strong addition to our roster,” said Michelle Towse, Partner and Executive Producer at Station Film. “There is an earnestness to his work that people can relate to, which is both refreshing and very relevant for agencies and brands. He is also a filmmaker in the true sense, whose attention to craft shines through in all his work.”
Bolger hopes to apply his sensibilities to more bold, high-concept, and touching projects. Brands like Airbnb and Disneyland come to mind, along with sports brands that adopt a more personal, emotional approach to their storytelling.
“A director's job is to have taste and to be honest,” Bolger added. “We have to put our whole selves into these films. The only thing that can separate me from another artist is to be wholeheartedly vulnerable with my writing and filmmaking.”
