BODEGA Signs Directing Duo Bright Black

New York/Los Angeles/San Francisco-based content creation studio BODEGA continues its expansion efforts, signing directing duo of filmmakers, Austin Rhodes and Ivan Landau, professionally known as Bright Black, to the BODEGA roster. Bright Black’s bold, visual style plays into the psychedelic aesthetic – what can only be seen when you close your eyes and drift away into the shimmering phosphenes behind your eyelids.

Their work features a range of captivating cinematography, insane graphics, effects, and animation that is always anchored around the strength of the central story and message, whatever the project may be.

Bright Black states: “We're about unlocking the potential of everyone we work with. We get people excited to tell their stories and allow them to be authentic, honest, and wholly themselves. And it seems to us that these days, that's what everyone is craving, authenticity. We're mindful of and actively support inclusivity in the stories we share and the people we work with, from main talent and the brand to the crew itself. We believe in the limitlessness of art and culture to make the world better and we strive to pull our resources and paint our pictures with the largest palette possible.”

Bright Black's combined expertise in cinematography, still photography, editorial and visual effects spawned a symbiotic partnership with collaboration and inventiveness at its core. They approach each project as an opportunity to discover something new, unique, and beautiful.

BODEGA executive producer Mark Kovacs notes: “Couldn’t be happier to have Bright Black join our Bodega family. Ivan and Austin are a multi-talented force whose prime time has come, and we’re excited to partner with them.”

Bright Black’s work includes branded content for some of the biggest name brands – Nike, Apple, Vans, Beats by Dre, HP, to name only a few.
