Director Nicolas Gordon has joined Furlined U.S. and U.K. for commercial representation.
A 2022 graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Gordon has a sophistication and maturity that belies his relative youth. His talent has been recognized on the awards show front, garnering Silver for New Talent at Ciclope, and shortlist distinction at Cannes Lions and YDA in 2023.
Notable work includes “Gil’s Grills” for the Brooklyn Film Festival via Havas New York. Part of the Brooklyn fest’s “Stories About Life by Those Who Lived It” campaign, “Gil’s Grills” was a SHOOT Top Spot of the Week in May 2023. Gordon has also partnered with brands and agencies such as Hyundai through Innocean and Pedigree out of BBDO. Connecting with Furlined marks Gordon’s first time on a production company roster. Furlined handles him for commercial representation in the U.S., U.K. and Amsterdam.
Commenting on his approach, Nicolas shared, “I am most comfortable in the uncomfortable. Forever seeking out moments of dissonant resonance–to find perfection in imperfection. The breath of a lens, the skip in a record, there is a tactility to it all… a physicality. That is where magic lives, in those in-between spaces, and that is where I want to be.”
Diane McArter, president and founder of Furlined, said, “Nicolas has already brought his refreshing and refined visual, psychological, and comic sensibilities to the projects he has helmed. These qualities are rare in any director, much less a director this early in their career. Nicolas is a next-generation filmmaker. A voice for the new era, born out of deep knowledge, love and respect for the history of cinema and the art of advertising.”
Nicolas said, “When I hear Furlined, I think ‘family.’ A place where directors are truly nurtured, reflecting profoundly in the quality of work that emerges. I couldn’t be more grateful to find myself a part of that and feel that I have found my home.”
