Lucas Ansel’s sharp storytelling ability sets his work apart and threads together his diverse portfolio.
A medium-agnostic director, he finds the perfect combination of techniques to unlock a narrative and make it shine. Ansel’s hit “12 Inch Pianist” was based on Simon Rich’s revelry in miscommunication, “Guy Walks Into a Bar” for the New Yorker, and was the toast of global festivals such as Ottawa and Pictoplasma, and finished its festival run with a Student Academy Award. His work for brands such as Chamberlain Coffee and Adidas show both his range as a storyteller and ability to speak to young consumers.
