Pulse Films is excited to announce the worldwide signing of award winning filmmaker Michael Haussman to its roster of commercial directors. Pulse Films will serve as Haussman’s representation for commercials, music videos and branded content projects.
Haussman is a director, writer and artist who has received international acclaim for his compelling work. He has directed music videos for Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Kanye West, Usher and Shakira, among others, and his commercial campaigns include work for Levi’s, Diesel, Absolut, Bvlgari, BMW, Coca-Cola, and more.
In 2013, Haussman wrote and directed the short film THE AUDITION, which was selected to compete in the Venice International Film Festival, and his documentary THE UNSINKABLE HENRY MORGAN premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Other films of Haussman’s include RHINOCEROS HUNTING IN BUDAPEST, BLIND HORIZON, and THE LAST SERIOUS THING. In addition to his work as a writer and director, Haussman recently created GRAVITY, a study of gravity’s effect on human emotion told through five high definition video sequences filmed at 2,000 frames per second.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have Michael join the Pulse team,” stated Pulse CEO Thomas Benski. “Michael is incredibly talented, and his ability to create content across many platforms and mediums is exactly what we are excited about in our artists.”
“At Pulse, we are interested in creators, not just directors,” said Pulse President of Commercials and Music Videos Kira Carstensen. “As a writer, director and artist working across many different creative platforms, Michael is the perfect fit for Pulse and our modern day studio.”
“For a filmmaker like me who is involved in commercials, films, documentaries, music video and art, I have never had a home in which I could facilitate all these projects. PULSE is this place,” said Haussman. “They have a unique philosophy on how to support a director and artist to find outlets for all his creative output. When I met with PULSE I was already mid-stride on a film I wrote and will direct called GOOD GUYS. Thomas Benski came on board and gave the project a new jolt of life. I see the difference between the ‘old model’ of promising a director a film, and the PULSE method, which is to immediately get involved, financially and physically. I’m very excited about our future collaborations in all art forms.”
As part of the Pulse Films roster, Haussman will be able to apply his skill for creating content across platforms and formats including through the Pulse strategic partnership with VICE.
