Marcus Nispel joins Tool

Marcus Nispel has cited Tool’s physical production and post-production capabilities as the primary motivation for his recent signing to the company. Nispel shares a background as an advertising creative with Tool founder Erich Joiner and several other Tool directors. Some of his most recognised and awarded work has come from projects where he was brought directly into the creative process to collaborate with the creative team. Over the course of his career, Marcus Nispel has directed over 250 music videos, worked with nearly every agency and advertiser on about 2000 commercials, and shot features for the USA Network, New Line, Warner, Lionsgate and 20th Century Fox. Now, he seeks to combine his formidable background in advertising and feature films to push advertising into the future at his new company.
