Director Showcase: comedy director Ben Callner joins Hunters House Directors Agency for exclusive representation in Asia, Middle East and Eastern Europe

Ben is an outstanding American comedy director from Atlanta, GA. His career as a director began when he took his hobby of making films with the family video camera to the next level. After the films he started submitting into competitions began receiving top honors, it was only a matter of time before Callner went on to receive the Young Director Award at Cannes.

Since then the director has gone on to helm spots for brands including Doritos, Geico, Verizon, Lenovo, Motorola, Ford, and many others. With a reel reflecting a wide spectrum of comedy, ranging from funny and insightful to hilariously offbeat, Ben has made a name for himself with his smart brand of comedic commercials and branded content. Callner has been honored at the AICP, ADDY, TELLY awards. In addition to that, Ben’s Doritos “Goat 4 Sale” Super Bowl spot was ranked #1 in Nielsen’s rating for Most Likable and Most Memorable Super Bowl XLVII commercial. He was also selected as a featured director in the 2012 SHOOT Magazine New Directors Showcase.

Ben Callner recently joined Hunters House Directors Agency for exclusive commercial representation in Asia, Middle East and Eastern Europe. “Ben is one of the most gifted comedy directors in the American advertising industry,” says Jen Alvares, a Partner and Executive Producer at Hunters House Entertainment Group. “I’m truly excited to have him join our already formidable directors roster.”
