Production company tinygiant has added director Dan Saelinger to its roster.
Saelinger is a director, photographer, and visual collaborator. As a filmmaker, Saelinger has clients and agency collaborators that include Nike, Amazon, Nickelodeon, Target, Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO, mcgarrybowen, Grey and Deutsch. On the still photography side, he’s worked with the likes of Samsung, Budweiser, Dodge, Google, Kellogg’s, Reebok, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy & Mather, and Venables Bell & Partners.
From the time he received his first camera at the age of 15, rural Pennsylvania-born Saelinger decided he wanted to make a living capturing images. Raised in the MTV-era playing 8-bit video games, he’s drawn to all things graphic and colorful. He is also the founder of Saelinger & Co., a full-service creative studio in Portland, Oregon that creates content using motion, animation, photography, and design.
Veronica Diaferia, founder/executive producer at tinygiant, said, “Dan is incredibly multi-faceted and is constantly surprising us with his depth of knowledge and experience. He adds great depth to our roster with his impeccable taste and highly stylized aesthetic, and confirms our love of filmmakers defined by strong, bold and colorful visuals.”
Saelinger said of his new roost and their people, “They are the perfect blend of boutique and global, which enables them to be as diverse, adaptable, and cutting edge as they are. I’m extremely excited to expand the reach of my work with their incredible team, and combine my still photography experience with their immense production know-how.”
Saelinger was previously represented by Apostrophe, which continues to handle him for still photography.
The talent roster at tinygiant includes Jenn Shaw, Daisy Ifama, Aleksandra Kingo, and Louise Palmberg. The Brooklyn-based company also recently launched a division to serve the LatinX market, featuring a lineup of directors with deep roots in Latin America.
