Dress Code has brought on board executive producer Brad Edelstein (Click 3X, Stink Studios) and art director Wes Ebelhar (The Mill, Hush). Edelstein has extensive experience in sales and strategy in the production and agency worlds, positioning him to introduce agencies and brands to the nearly decade-old Dress Code, which has intentionally stayed under the radar creating hyper-designed work for a small staple of loyal partners. 

Founded by Dan Covert and Andre Andreev, Dress Code is a production company active on both the live-action and animation fronts. Recent credits include a Schick campaign for J. Walter Thompson. Dress Code also earned three Vimeo staff picks for a film about Syracuse University, a music video for Violent Sands, and a short documentary profiling the oldest elevator operator in Los Angeles.

Edelstein said of his new roost, “We’re looking to work on a bigger stage, yet still stay small. We just upgraded offices for the first time and let’s just say we have no interest in ‘getting the floor above us,’ so to speak. This keeps us true to the roots of how the company started out: selective, grounded and focused on making dope work.”

Art director Ebelhar was trained at a top tier design school before climbing the ranks as a staff player, then as a freelancer at a “who’s who” of animation studios. He brings a designer’s sensibility and taste to illustration-based animation and motion graphics.
