Director Jim Hosking is returning to advertising, joining the roster of RadicalMedia for global representation.
Following his illustrious cult-classic feature-film era (The Greasy Strangler, An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn), Hosking is back to explore the (r)evolution in commercial filmmaking and direct even more iconic ads, as he did for brands such as Cadbury’s, Travelocity and Xbox.
Prior to connecting with RadicalMedia, Hosking was last repped in the advertising market by the production house Sweetshop.
Hosking’s filmmaking style is distinctive, yet indefinable–a mix of absurd comedy, eccentric characters and often downright shocking visuals, Hosking’s films are surprising, but for more than just the eccentricities. Under the strange surface are intricate and emotional stories leading to laughter, tears and a scream or two–with laughs the most predominant.
Hosking shared, ”I’m really excited to work with the good people of RadicalMedia to express myself in exciting bold new ways. My brain is excited and pulsating with this excitement and I intend to prove this to be the absolute truth.”
Ben Schneider, managing director/executive producer for RadicalMedia Berlin and London, said, ”There’s nobody quite like Jim Hosking. A creative innovator whose artistic lawlessness is truly Radical. This is going to be fun.”
