    Grand Large Signs Director Katie Bell For Representation In U.S.

    Katie Bell
    NEW YORK --

    Commercial and music video director Katie Bell has joined Grand Large for U.S. representation. Her signing adds another woman director to a roster which already has strong female representation.

    Known for her ability to elicit natural and moving performances from children and adults, as well as for her ability to create authentic and beautiful scenes, Bell joins Grand Large after several years working freelance from her London base. Prior to joining Grand Large, she had been repped by Wild Plum in the U.S. ad market.

    “I love Katie’s work and the sensitivity it reflects,” said Steve Horton, Grand Large founder and executive producer. “I believe it really strikes a chord in this business at this time.”

    Bell started her film career at MTV Europe after training to be a graphic designer. Her titles for Jean Paul Gaultier’s 1990s late-night TV show, Eurotrash, resulted in Bell being asked to direct her first music video. After working all over the world with artists such as The Bee Gees, Boyzone, Girls Aloud, Rachel Stevens, and Myleene Klass, Bell moved on to directing commercials.

    Recent spots she’s directed include a campaign for Amazon’s Alexa, as well as ads for John Lewis, Danone, Kraft, Walmart and Minute Maid. Her work at times conveys a simple story in a serene environment, but that’s not necessarily the story behind the scenes.

    Recalling the Amazon production, Bell explained, “It was real team work. We shot for 10 days and one night to produce eight films, in five languages each. I was given a cinematic freehand, which is wonderful. But in terms of the production, I’m quite pleased that–despite the planning and work that went into it–you only see seamless and naturalistic stories.” 

    Bell described the Amazon creative as exactly the type of work she loves to do: “Slices of life, sometimes with kids, and visual storytelling with little moments in time.” 

    Bell joins a Grand Large roster that also includes award-winning female directors Julie Taymor, Gaysorn Thavat, Lisa Immordino Vreeland, and Tracey Rowe, as well as fashion/beauty newcomer Elle, Tom Kan, Tran Anh Hung and Favourite Colour: Black.

    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 RosΓ© 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.

    β€œTo be honest, joining Picture North felt like a natural alignment more than a decision,” said Oh. β€œI 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, β€œKevin 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
