David Jellison

Director, TWC Films

David Jellison escaped to the relative safety of advertising following a soul-charring stint in the music industry. After designing guitars for Motley Crue and traveling the world with Van Halen as an Art Director for four years, he cut off his mullet and studied film at Art Center and photography at Otis Parsons. After helming numerous music videos, Jellison switched over to commercial work upon discovering that the catering was vastly superior.

David has directed over 300 spots for clients as varied and prominent as: NFL, PGA, EA Sports, Time Warner Cable, Mercedes, Toyota, Ford, Jaguar, Subway, Callaway, Domino’s, Panasonic, Sears, Dell, and the New York Lottery, to name a few.

He’s received a swath of gold and silver awards at various contests, and has been profiled in numerous industry trades.
