He has helmed projects for NBC, Volkswagen, Amazon, Coke, Walmart and Publix. In the feature realm, Kevin\u2019s\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kevino.tv\/ateotd\">At the End of the Day<\/a>, made in partnership with The Film Collaborative, called for LGBTQ+ acceptance and inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>We spent two minutes with Kevin to learn more about his background, his creative inspirations and recent work he\u2019s admired.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin, tell us \u2026<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where you grew up, and where you live now.<\/h3>\n<p>My dad was in the Coast Guard, so we moved a good bit: Florida, Hawaii, Virginia. In 1998, I moved to Lakeland, Fla., for college, and have lived here ever since. I\u2019ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 23 years, and our three kids just graduated from high school. We also live with two Goldendoodles after years of requests from my kids. They were right.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How you first realized you were creative.<\/h3>\n<p>My earliest creative memories are of sewing clothes for stuffed animals and putting on plays with action figures. I was pretty good at a lot, and brought creativity to most areas of my life. It wasn\u2019t until my late-20s that I realized filmmaking was the thing I loved and would pursue as a career.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A person you idolized creatively early on.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/M._Night_Shyamalan\">M. Night Shyamalan<\/a>. His intentionality in choices impressed me\u2014what to show, what not to show, certain meanings of colors and visuals, and tying those into an emotional moment. Watching his early work pushed me to think more about each frame and nuance.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A moment from high school or college that changed your life.<\/h3>\n<p>In college, I did not major in filmmaking, but I took an Editing for TV class. I loved it so much that I almost switched majors. My school didn\u2019t have a specific film major at the time, so I didn\u2019t change, and wouldn\u2019t pursue filmmaking for another 10 years. The seed was planted, however. And a decade later it grew and compelled me to teach myself.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A visual artist or band\/musician you admire.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Noga_Erez\">Noga Erez<\/a>. Her sound is unique, bold and engaging. I can\u2019t stop listening. It\u2019s so emotional and beautiful.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A book, movie, TV show, or podcast you recently found inspiring.<\/h3>\n<p>I was incredibly inspired by the show\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shrinking_(TV_series)\">Shrinking<\/a>. I love that it\u2019s full of empathy and strong characters who work through their conflicts, while still being hilarious, heartwarming\u2014and not rated G.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One of your favorite creative projects you\u2019ve ever worked on.<\/h3>\n<p>I directed a\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/707961107\">back to school spot<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Publix\">Publix<\/a>\u00a0in 2022, and it was everything I\u2019d hoped to accomplish as a commercial director: authentic, grounded, subtle performances, humor and emotion. While the end product is my favorite work, the creative process with the art director (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm14769043\/\">Jimena Fate<\/a>) and copywriter (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lindsay-fraser-aa8a511b2\/\">Lindsay Fraser<\/a>) was the most collaborative I can remember. The whole team flowed and empowered each other to make it great. I\u2019m a big fan of a quality process. The \u201chow we make it\u201d can be just as important as \u201cwhat we make.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A recent project you\u2019re proud of.<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/912648656\">Massey Miniatures<\/a>. I\u2019ve been in love with miniatures for a long time. When my friends at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/andbarr\/\">&amp;Barr\u00a0<\/a>brought me this concept, I was all in regardless of the budget. The campaign was a unique take, and the scripts were incredibly charming. I love how our team all worked together: the beautiful and lifelike lighting by DP\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/austinburke_dp\/p\/BwAYAchnKL9\/?next=\/avaferferii\/feed\/&amp;locale=en_US,en_US\">Austin Burke<\/a>; the intricate details of the miniatures by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/cheronda-scott-01a375b1\/\">Cheronda Scott<\/a>; and the support from our agency team (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/megrosenoff\/\">Meg Rosenoff<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachelclementscreative.com\/about\">Rachel Clements<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lynn-whitney-smith-2042253\/\">Lynn-Whitney Smith<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Someone else\u2019s work that inspired you years ago.<\/h3>\n<p>I was so moved by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colewebley.com\/\">Cole Webley\u2019s<\/a> \u201c84 Lumber\u201d Super Bowl spot. It was beautiful, raw and simple. It\u2019s a work of art that inspired the tone of a lot of my work.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Someone else\u2019s work you admired lately.<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve been a fan of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.suzanneclements.com\/\">Suzanne Clement<\/a>. Her photography always brings me joy and makes me smile. I want to create work with the same effect on others.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your main strength as a creative person.<\/h3>\n<p>Work ethic and collaboration. Creativity is no place for cutting corners or inflated egos. In my experience, when facing a choice between the harder way and an easier way, going the extra mile always results in better work. My work motto is \u201cThe hard way is the right way.\u201d And that includes the idea that the work gets better when influenced by a team of creatives.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your biggest weakness.<\/h3>\n<p>Distractions. It\u2019s much easier to work on another project or focus on the new boards that just came in when I\u2019m midway through a project. The key is to work in small segments of focus, then let my mind wander a bit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A mentor who helped you navigate the industry.<\/h3>\n<p>I am so grateful to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jordan_Brady\">Jordan Brady<\/a>. He\u2019s a comedy commercial director. He\u2019s been doing this for over 20 years, and he is the most generous person with his experience and wisdom. Between his podcast (<a href=\"https:\/\/jordanbrady.com\/respect-the-process\/\">Respect the Process<\/a>) and his boot camps, Jordan\u2019s mentorship has taught me most of what I know about the industry.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How you\u2019re paying it forward with the next generation of creatives.<\/h3>\n<p>I prefer to lead by example rather than talking. I\u2019ve had newer directors shadow me on set, and I\u2019m always open to talking through my experiences. There is no way I would be in my position if others weren\u2019t so generous, and I try to do the same.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you\u2019d be doing if you weren\u2019t in advertising.<\/h3>\n<p>Something in politics or advocacy. I have a passion for making the world a better place, specifically for those who are underrepresented.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 Minutes With Commercial Director Kevin O&#8217;Brien on Making the World a Better Place He explains why &#8216;The hard way is the right way&#8217;
