Drew Directs Comedy

(and other stuff…)

Who I Be

I’ve been directing commercials for 15 years and run my own production company, Overneath Creative. Comedy is my sweet spot, but I’ve also directed plenty of big boy serious campaigns for brands like the Army National Guard, ZEISS, Kellogg’s, Steelcase, & Stryker.

I’ve learned that directing comedy isn’t about mugging for the camera or witty punchlines, it’s about timing, casting, and letting the right moments breathe. It’s also about organizing the day for performance rather than just cramming in setups.

At the end of the day, my job is to make sure your script lands and the client gets their money’s worth.
