    Director Rick Darge Joins Stink For Spots, Branded Content, Music Videos

    Rick Darge
    CULVER CITY, Calif. --

    International production company Stink Films has added director Rick Darge to its U.S. roster for commercials, music videos, and branded content.

    Darge began his career as an editor, cutting everything from feature-length films to documentaries, commercials to television specials. From editing, he moved into cinematography, where he worked on Satacracy 88 which earned two Daytime Emmy nominations, winning for Outstanding Broadband Program–Drama. The other nod was for a team including Darge in the Outstanding New Approaches–Daytime Entertainment category. Before long, Darge transitioned into writing and directing with the film Zen Dog, which won Film of the Festival at the Raindance International Film Festival, along with several other national accolades. 

    Born in New Jersey and raised in Northern California, Darge discovered filmmaking at an early age. Inspired by his childhood hero Mel Brooks, he often enlisted family members and friends to star in his short films and fake infomercials. In high school, Darge directed music videos, shorts, documentaries, and an indie feature called Broken Strings. Darge went on to attend the University of Southern California and earn a BA in Cinema-Television. As an alumnus of Upright Citizens Brigade and a creator of numerous short films, Darge brings his satirical and often thought-provoking comedic chops to his range of work, including with his creative partnerships, Pretty Gross and Spooky Bonus. 
     
    “We’re here to laugh,” said Darge. “That’s my worldview, really. Taking the darkness and transforming it into something positive is what motivates me. I’m excited to do exactly that at Stink and make great content. They’re incredible, and I’m eager to start this next chapter of my career with them.”   
     
    “Rick uses his filmmaking to create a sort of relief amid life’s chaos,” said Daniel Bergmann, founder of Stink Films. “He makes his audience laugh and relax, even if it’s only for a few moments. He’s an outstanding addition to our roster and we’re thrilled to have him join us and continue to inspire and incite with his comedy stylings.”

    Darge was previously represented by Future Park.  He resides in Los Angeles.

    Picture North Signs Director Kevin Oh For Commercials and Branded Content

    Monday, April 20, 2026

    Picture North has added director Kevin Oh to its roster of talent for U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content. Prior to joining Picture North, he had most recently been freelancing.

    An observational director known for his detailed composition and narrative timing, Oh has become known for work that is grounded in real moments and subtle performances that drive every film forward.

    Originally a physics instructor, the pull towards storytelling brought Oh to the world of advertising and with it, the opportunity to direct. He has directed commercials for brands including Adidas, Coca-Cola, Disney, FIFA, Google, Nike, Jack Daniels, and a Puma campaign starring Rosé from Blackpink. A well-rounded filmmaker, Oh is also an accomplished DP and photographer, allowing him to step into many roles on a project and meaningfully collaborate with nearly every department.

    “To be honest, joining Picture North felt like a natural alignment more than a decision,” said Oh. “I tend to put a lot of weight into the details and the relationships behind the work. And since this is something I plan on doing for the rest of my life, that foundation was extremely important to me. There’s a level of care, accountability, and precision at Picture North that I really value. It feels like the kind of partnership where we can build something meaningful and hold each other to a higher standard with every step forward we take together. I’m excited where this path leads both of us.”

    Martin Rodahl, executive producer and founder of Picture North, added, “Kevin is a multiple threat signing! He’s obviously a very accomplished motion director, but his still photography portfolio makes him even more competitive. His background in advertising... Read More
