Matt Sorrell | Creative Director @ Wieden+Kennedy Portland

Matt Sorrell is a Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy Portland. Matt’s won tons of awards including gold lions, gold pencils, and a grand Clio. He's created outstanding work for HBO, Foot Locker and Old Spice. And just this year Matt helped create some extraordinarily unusual spots for a company named Meow Wolf. Think parody of a local supermarket commercial hosted by a deep-fake of Willie Nelson. 

 

This episode is jam packed with fun production stories along with advice for creatives, filmmakers and anyone who is in the business of creating visual comedy. We also dive into the process of creating one of those Meow Wolf spots and an all-time favorite for Old Spice.
