Greg Brunkalla Connects with Holiday to Direct in Canada
Director Greg Brunkalla has joined Holiday Films for Canadian representation. He shot his first commercial in 2004, and has since helmed commercial films for clients including Coca Cola, Nike, Sony, Ford, Target, T-Mobile, Kia, Diesel, W Magazine and The New York Times.
In 2009, Brunkalla received a Young Guns Award from the Art Directors Club of New York. That same year, he founded a new media company with industry counterparts called Legs, based out of Milk Studios in NYC. Legs was the collective behind the Target Kaleidoscopic fashion show in 2010, a live fashion show that took over the side of the Standard Hotel in New York. Involved in creating the initial concept for the event with Mother New York, Brunkalla directed the multi-camera shoot. It went on to win several awards including, TED's "Ads Worth Spreading" award and a Gold Lion at Cannes in the Stunts & Live Advertising category.
Brunkalla's series of intimate celebrity interviews for The New York Times Style Magazine titled "Screen Tests" has earned three Emmy nominations and a 2012 Webby Award. His short documentary about LA street dancers for Coke Zero's "Make It Possible" campaign won a Silver Lion in the Branded Content category at Cannes 2012.
Brunkalla's most recent work is a spot for Cadbury, titled "Pinata" out of Ogilvy Toronto, shot with Holiday Films in South Africa.
Other recent work includes a music video for Coke Zero, a live event-turned-commercial version of Angry Birds for T-Mobile, and an interactive installation for Nike's Fuelband.
Brunkalla resides in Brooklyn and is represented by Skunk in the US and by Stink in the UK.
