Production company Good Times has added director E.J. McLeavey-Fisher to its U.S. commercial roster, tapping a filmmaker known for intimate, performance-led storytelling with wry humor and a refined, natural visual style.
McLeavey-Fisher’s brand work spans AT&T, The Farmer’s Dog, Coca-Cola and Samsung, in partnership with BBDO, Ogilvy and TBWA\Chiat\Day. His films — including the Vimeo Staff Picked short The Guy: The Brian Donahue Story — have screened at AFI DOCS, Big Sky, DOC NYC, Edinburgh, Nantucket and Montclair, and have been featured by The Atlantic, Slate and Vice.
A Cape Cod native and NYU Tisch alum, he cut his teeth at MTV directing across formats, earning an Emmy nomination and a reputation for versatility on fast-moving sets.
“I’ve known Corwin for years, and when we started chatting about the approach he and Eric are taking with Good Times, it really landed for me,” McLeavey-Fisher shared. “We’ve been in this industry long enough to know what matters, and our values are aligned… these days it’s my goal to do the best work I can while ensuring everyone on set is feeling it too.”
“E.J. brings a beautiful, natural aesthetic, an acute awareness for his crew, and he delivers on the creative and the strategy,” added Corwin Carroll, Good Times co-founder and EP. “We’re thrilled to have him.”
Between spots, McLeavey-Fisher is advancing documentary and narrative projects, co-founded the directors’ collective The Slate, and hosts monthly wellness conversations for filmmakers via Nourish.
Reel 360 News wishes E.J. the best of luck at Good Times.
