Award-winning production company Partizan has welcomed comedy director Amber Schaefer to its roster of directorial talent.
Known for her work at Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and her own viral short films, Schaefer has emerged as a standout voice in comedic storytelling.
Drawing on her background in acting and improv, Schaefer creates character-driven work that, no matter how absurd the premise, remains grounded in emotional truth. Her films are sharp, funny, distinctively stylised, and unafraid to embrace the wonderfully weird. As she puts it: “real people are weird.”
Schaefer is a rising force in branded content, with campaigns for Coach, Geico, Native, Dos Equis, Smartfood, Planet Fitness, Best Buy, Kayak, and Burrow. Her narrative work includes the satirical NYC Tips and Tricks, the Slamdance short It’s Been Too Long, and the viral unsanctioned campaign Bernie: The People’s Perfume.
“I’ve admired Partizan’s bold creative work for years,” said Schaefer. “Let’s make some funny, weird, beautiful sh@#.”
Georges Bermann, Founder of Partizan, adds, “Amber’s ability to draw out engrossing, delightful performances from her actors brings a distinct energy to everything she creates. We feel very fortunate to have her unique brand of weird and wonderful with us at Partizan.”
