Lars' insights into the cultural differences between European and American advertising also challenged preconceptions and highlighted the value of diverse perspectives.

We talked about his globetrotting career that took him from Singapore to New York and back again. Click here to see some of the cool work The Sunny Side has been cooking up lately.

I find it fascinating to hear Vasanth's perspective on building an agency internationally. We also dug into the differences between the ad scenes in Singapore, Asia, and good ol' NYC.

Wow! What a fun, productive talk with Bradley Johnson, Managing Director and EP at Seed Media Arts, and Seed Director Matthew Underwood. We discuss Matthew's spec spot for Chevy titled "Follow Your Own Road" - including the process of developing the script, shooting it on location in Utah, and editing it down from an initial long cut. Matthew's started shooting weddings and music videos then moved to directing documentary and corporate work. Now he's crushing it in the commercial game.

Bradley provides insights from his perspective as an executive producer. The conversation also touches on building a director's reel, respecting the creative process, and Matthew's relationship with Seed Media Arts. Great conversation you'll learn from. Thanks Bradley and Matthew.
