Brian Baderman

Director, TWC Films

Known for his character driven humor, Brian Baderman’s recent exploits include spots for Virgin Holidays via Kitcatt Nohr, London, and French automobile maker Citroen out of Euro RSCG, London. The latter project skews to the darkly offbeat as a man attempts to commit suicide through carbon monoxide poisoning but his car is a Citroen, which produces 40 percent fewer pollutant emissions and won’t let him get the job done. After trying for hours, the guy opts for another means, namely to drive the car into a tree. However, upon impact, the airbag deploys, saving him. The tagline positions the Citroen as “the car that won’t let you kill yourself.”

Earlier in his career, Brian had affiliations with such shops as bicoastal/international Believe Media and then Los Angeles-based Biscuit Filmworks. With a formal education at London’s Camberwell College of Art as well as  the Royal College of Art, he began his career as a still photographer for European jean maker Diesel. Brian became a successful freelance photographer before making the transition to directing in the 1990s, co-founding London production house All Film.

Brian is represented by Blink in the UK, and TWC Films in the US.
