MindsEye welcomes James Larese

Award-winning director and visual artist James Larese has joined the MindsEye roster for representation in the UK.

Larese, who lives between LA and New York is, says MindsEye, a dynamic and striking director who pushes boundaries, blurring the lines between commerce and art.

Larese’s career began in the mid-90s as a visual artist employing the latest technologies to produce art. In 2005 his work caught the eye of Will.I.Am. The pair clicked creatively, resulting in Larese directing a video for The Black Eyed Peas. Having never stepped onto a film set before, Larese chose to dive into the world of directing at the deep end.

Since that time, Larese has developed original content for major networks like Disney, MTV, ESPN and HBO, and brands such as Doritos, Activision and Beats by Dre. A proud music obsessive, Larese has also directed over 300 music videos, working with top artists such as Eminem, The Weeknd, Megan Thee Stallion and Kanye West, garnering over four billion views and an array of accolades in the process, including an MTV VMA, an MVPA award, a UKMVA win and a Cannes Bronze Lion, as well as nominations for 11 MTV VMAs, two BET awards and an NAACP award.

MindsEye says it is delighted to have Larese on board.
