Canadian production company Spy Films announce the signing of award-winning directing duo BLOK for exclusive Canadian representation.
The duo made up of longtime friends Paul Casey and Richard Jobson, are known for their performance-driven, visually striking and distinctly funny commercial and narrative work. After directing television comedy for the BBC, Channel 4, Sky, ITV and Netflix, the pair brought their character-led storytelling into advertising, collaborating with global brands including Pepsi, Doritos, McDonald's, NBA, Deliveroo, Gillette, Carlsberg and YouTube TV, where they made their Super Bowl directorial debut.
“BLOK are a rare breed of directing team who have the ability to combine visual craft with genuine comedic instinct” says Marcus Trulli, Managing Director and Executive Producer at SPY. “We’re thrilled to welcome Paul and Richard to the roster and looking forward to crafting award winning work!"
The signing marks another step in BLOK's growing international presence.
“We do like to get about, and we’ve long been admirers of SPY’s roster, so we’re very excited to be joining Marcus and the team.” says BLOK. ”Put plainly, they make some of the very best work coming out of Canada, and that’s precisely what we hope to be doing ourselves. An added perk, Canada just so happens to be one of our absolute favourite places on the planet, as well as being the birthplace of maybe the finest drink ever created: The Caesar. More please.”
The addition of BLOK further strengthens SPY's roster of internationally recognized directors and its commitment to bold, world-class storytelling across advertising, entertainment and branded content.
