Farm League welcomes purposeful storyteller Sonntag to the US directing roster.
Creative film company and certified B Corporation Farm League welcomes Benjamin Sonntag for US representation in commercials and branded content.
Sonntag, known for a scripted approach rooted in deep intentionality, joins the versatile boutique studio as they continue to expand with new perspectives and styles of culture-driven storytelling.
Sonntag takes big, universal feelings and translates them into intimate and relatable microstories. From tales of triumph against the odds (Nike), to snapshots of the quiet moments that define us (23andMe), to visceral portraits of rhythm (Jo-Jax, New Orleans Jazz) his respect for artistry and craft is a constant undertone.
Sonntag’s work captures the paradoxes of life: warmth and rawness, simplicity and scale. With roots in acting, he brings a rare sensitivity to performance. His ability to capture strong emotion in short-form has earned him recognition across the industry, including a Telly Award win for A Thousand Miles for Care and AdAge Editor’s Picks for his work with KB Homes and Center for Reproductive Rights. He was also shortlisted for AICP Best New Director.
Farm League, who will soon celebrate their 15th anniversary, continues their mission to be both a listener and shaper of culture, as seen in recent work for Ford (Wieden+Kennedy NY), Corona (GSD&M), Expedia, Tecovas, and AG1.
Sonntag comments: “I always look forward to finding and telling new stories, and doing what it takes to move viewers on some level. There’s a lot of clutter out there; I want to add some beauty and create work that intrinsically inspires. I could tell Farm League has a real desire for art, not just craft. They put a definite emphasis and attention to the visual tone and feeling of their work.”
Tim Lynch, Farm League Founder and EP, adds: “Good storytellers hold their work gently, make space for what's real. Ben sees the truth in a moment and knows how to honour it. There's emotion in his work because he trusts the performance, trusts what's there. We're excited to have him at Farm League.”
