Biscuit Filmworks has added directing duo Jocelyn & Dawn to its U.S. roster. This marks the directorial team’s first representation in the commercialmaking space.
Creative partners since 2015, Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe are known for their singular visual style and fresh, whip-smart comedy. Their film Greener Grass, which they wrote and directed, earned a Film Independent Spirit Award nomination this year for Best First Screenplay.
Shawn Lacy, co-founder and managing director at Biscuit, is enthused over prospects for the directing duo as they extend their creative reach into advertising. “Jocelyn & Dawn bring not only a contagious and original sense of humor, but also a completely assured visual tone that has been refined through their film and TV work,” assessed Lacy.
Jocelyn & Dawn’s debut feature film Greener Grass premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and earned critical accolades. Greener Grass was distributed theatrically by IFC and is currently streaming on Hulu. Jocelyn & Dawn have also directed multiple episodes of TruTV’s Adam Ruins Everything, and have written and produced three short films which have collectively screened in over 70 film festivals worldwide and earned numerous awards, including a writing award at the 2017 SXSW Film Festival. The duo met through their sketch and improv work at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, where they have each been mainstage performers for over a decade.
Jocelyn & Dawn join a Biscuit directorial roster which includes Aaron Stoller, Andreas Nilsson, Ben Strebel, Big Red Button, Christopher Riggert, Clay Weiner, Dan DiFelice, Daniel Warwick, Errol Morris, The Glue Society, Isaiah Seret, Jeff Low, Joaquin & Lalou, Justin Kurzel, Matt Devine, Michael Downing, Molly Manners, company co-founder Noam Murro, Rachel McDonald, and Steve Rogers.
