Invisible Collective has added director Andrew Wonder to its roster for U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content. His work over the years has garnered him a Daytime Emmy Award as well a Cannes Lion and a D&AD Pencil.
Wonder began his filmmaking journey at 17 as a field producer on MTV’s MADE, traveling across the country to produce episodes and handling everything from shooting and sound to editing and presenting cuts to executives. That early experience instilled a focus on human connection and presence as the foundation of storytelling, a principle that continues to shape his work. His signature approach emphasizes proximity and human truth across all forms of filmmaking, with a focus on collapsing distance between subject and audience, performance and camera, and idea and emotion. His commercial work includes campaigns for Delta, AT&T, Chevrolet, Ford and eBay, among others. Most recently, he directed a new campaign for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration via agency StrataCom.
The aforementioned Daytime Emmy came for an episode of MADE, which he directed. He also helmed the pubic service film “One More Day” about gun violence at schools; the project won a Cannes Bronze Lion for Film Craft in 2016 and a D&AD Pencil for direction in 2017.
Most recently, Wonder directed commercials via Tomorrow, a company he co-founded in 2018. He later divested himself of his interest in that shop to focus on feature work. Invisible becomes his first roost for commercial representation since then.
“I was drawn to Invisible Collective because their approach to filmmaking is similar to mine: collaborative, forward-thinking and deeply human,” Wonder said. “Their sense of curiosity, trust and support makes me confident that this is a place where I can approach commercials with the same attention to performance and emotional impact that I bring to my long-form work.”
He first gained widespread attention with his viral documentary Undercity, an intimate exploration of New York City’s underground tunnels that earned praise for its immediacy and immersive style. His debut feature Feral earned recognition from The New York Times, which described it as “powerful, revelatory,” and it holds a perfect critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Wonder has collaborated with filmmakers including Paul Schrader, as well as the late great cinematographer Harris Savides, ASC. In collaboration with Schrader, Wonder served as DP on Oh Canada (Cannes Competition, TIFF Gala, NYFF 2024), co-directed Future of Movies for La Biennale di Venezia’s 70th anniversary, and worked as a second unit director and associate producer on Dog Eat Dog(Cannes Directors’ Fortnight 2016).
“Andrew is a filmmaker who combines technical mastery with emotional insight,” said Invisible Collective EP Sam Kelly. “His work feels lived in. He understands performance, scale and visual language at the highest level. His ability to translate complex, real-world moments into exciting imagery makes him exactly the kind of storyteller we want representing Invisible in the commercial space. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the team.”
