Bio & background

David Gordon Green is a filmmaker and commercial director rostered at Chelsea Pictures, the company that brought him into advertising. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1975 and trained at the North Carolina School of the Arts, he broke through with George Washington, which won Best First Film from the New York Film Critics Circle, then moved between independent dramas, studio comedies such as Pineapple Express, HBO series including Eastbound & Down and The Righteous Gemstones, and the Halloween trilogy. In commercials his evidenced campaigns include Nike WNBA “Mr. Earl” and “Shout” (Wieden+Kennedy), AT&T “Epic Bad Golf Day” (BBDO), Allstate “Homeowners” (Wieden+Kennedy), Walmart “Farm,” Maserati “Strike” (Wieden+Kennedy), Madden “The Spokesplayer,” Apple Music “Where’s Usher?,” Mountain Dew “Dewey Ryder” with Danny McBride, Sprite with LeBron James, multiple Planters spots, and GE work including “Agent of Good” with Hugo Weaving. His 2012 Chrysler Super Bowl film “Halftime in America,” directing Clint Eastwood’s monologue across roughly 30 takes, is cited on TIME’s Top 25 Super Bowl Ads of All Time. Chelsea’s bio also credits Google and Budweiser. The body of work emphasizes comedy performance, heartfelt and dialogue-led storytelling, automotive craft, celebrity direction, athletic Nike spots, and Super Bowl-scale production.
