Filmmaker Jack Begert has officially joined Biscuit Filmworks’ roster for commercial representation in both the US and UK, marking his first foray into advertising.
Known for his distinct visual style and surreal use of effects, Begert has garnered attention through his work in music videos and his feature film debut Little Death, which won the NEXT Innovator Award at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Darren Aronofsky produced the film starring David Schwimmer, Gaby Hoffman, Dominic Fike, and Talia Ryder.
Originally from Miami and now based in Los Angeles, Begert graduated from USC Film School and started his career in VFX and editing. Over the years, he has directed for renowned artists like Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Flying Lotus, Childish Gambino, and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as created campaigns for major brands including Apple, Converse, New Era, and Reebok.
Shawn Lacy, Founding Partner of Biscuit Filmworks, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are such fans of his work and of him as a creator, thinker, and collaborator.”
Begert shared his enthusiasm, “My creative approach is often about trying to discover something unexpected in the filmmaking process,” said the filmmaker. “Biscuit is a place where I can bring my own perspective to the work and still feel supported. That philosophy is clear from the talent they represent, and I’m excited to join their roster.”
“Jack’s work blew me away the moment I first saw it,” said Rupert Reynolds-Maclean, Managing Director at Biscuit Filmworks UK. “He is a modern young director who clearly cares deeply about both craft and the necessity for it in his storytelling. Everything always pushes the narrative forward. We’re looking forward to making great work together.”
