Tinygiant signs Moriah Sawtelle

Female-owned production company Tinygiant has announced the signing of director Moriah Sawtelle to its roster of talent.

Sawtelle joins as part of Tinygiant’s Next Big Thing incubator program, which is dedicated to nurturing emerging directorial voices.

Sawtelle is known for her distinct directorial approach which, says Tinygiant, melds "precision with an artistic vision that transforms constraints into creative potential". A talented photographer as well, Sawtelle brings a keen eye for composition and storytelling to her filmmaking work, which spans collaborations with brands such as Starbucks, Delta, Cadillac and Rémy Martin.

“There’s something magnetic about truth framed in a combination of whimsy and authorship,” said Sawtelle. “I love to reimagine reality — blending sub-genres, bending visual rules and shaping stories that linger in the back of your mind long after you’ve seen them.”

Sawtelle’s recent work includes the Jameson Holiday campaign, a cinematic journey through the intimate warmth of the Jameson family living room; Rémy Martin’s campaign, where luxury meets playful surrealism; and TWO Hotel - Between the Lines, a fashion film noir capturing the mystery of unreliable narrators within the striking aesthetic of the TWA Hotel. 

Sawtelle’s layered and elevated storytelling has made her a sought-after name in the commercial and branded content world and, as one of the few woman-owned and led production companies in the industry, Tinygiant has forged a distinctive path in the commercial advertising and brand space. The company has earned a reputation as a trusted partner, showcasing a roster of veteran directors as well as serving as launching pad for diverse emerging talent. 

"Tinygiant looks forward to the dynamic creative contributions Moriah will bring to its team," says a spokesperson for the company, "pushing the boundaries of commercial storytelling and visual artistry."
