Production agency Team Bubbly has signed director Justin Ongeri for commercials, branded content and music videos. This marks his first U.S. representation.
The catalyst for Ongeri’s directing career began three years ago when he directed a Binki music video for the song “Clay Pigeon.” Since then, Ongeri’s work has earned notability for its ability to synthesize ideas and concepts, transcending the boundaries between music videos and commercials while maintaining his unique point of view. Other directorial credits include Binki’s latest video “Freakin’” as well as a music clip for Spencer Barnett, “Swank.” Ongeri also directed a brand film for Team Bubbly celebrating 10 years of business titled “A Sense of Agency–A Team Bubbly Story.” He helmed that film prior to officially joining the company’s roster. In fact he collaborated with Team Bubbly in various capacities for about a year before formally coming into the company fold.
In a joint statement, Team Bubbly partners/executive producers Andres Rojas and Frank Siringo shared, “Watching Justin’s process firsthand has deepened our admiration for him as a filmmaker. His ability to fully immerse himself in a project is inspiring. We’re thrilled to have Justin join our director’s roster and share his passion and dedication with our commercial partners.”
Ongeri, a self-taught filmmaker, added, “Andres and Frank embody the spirit of filmmaking. They’re willing to take risks on ideas, projects, and people, which is more important to me than any outcome of a video. I’m looking forward to working with them in a larger capacity to tackle even bigger challenges with my own work.”
