GEORGE SLOAN is a writer and director. Between 2010 and 2013, George was a writer for the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" where he wrote three well-received episodes. In 2014, he returned to his directing roots, first working with the band Soft Swells on the official music video for their single "Floodlights," then directing two comedy spots, the first for the financial management company Wealthfront, the second for the Doritos "Crash the Super Bowl" campaign. George's Doritos spot "Push!" was honored by being featured in the brand's 10th anniversary highlight reel. George then turned his attention to short-form documentaries, directing an inspiring five-minute film called "Bringing Back the Light" for the Ronald McDonald House which premiered at their annual fundraising gala. Based on the strength of that film, George was hired by RCA Records to create a series of verité and behind-the-scenes videos for various artists including Tinashe, Frankie, and Grace. Lately, George has been happily bouncing between the commercial, music video and documentary world, directing a commercial for Wendy's and BuzzFeed, as well as music videos for Betty Who and Frankie.

Good day! Thank you for your time and consideration. I live and love filmmaking, helping other filmmakers and finding stories to tell. My work experiences include but are not limited to: Shooting quality HD video and audio solo on set with my own equipment for online videos and docu-style projects, producing and managing crews for commercials, features, trailers,digital content, viral videos, web series and music videos.

Prior to Daymaker Productions, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to help establish and launch another independent production company named Dream Factory Entertainment beginning in 2012. Since producing Dream Factory's first feature film titled She's With Me in 2013, I have produced a range of content and have been on production teams for various other companies, award shows, and independent projects. All six micro budget feature films my team and I produced at Dream Factory have been distributed domestically and/or internationally. I have a strong appreciation and passion for filmmaking, business and the performing arts.

To help bring awareness to issues, we believe it begins with trust. This begins with our relationship with our subjects. As a team, we are creative storytellers, but we also strive to understand the essence of the story. Everyone on the team needs to be knowledgeable to the subject and able to adapt to situations that occur during documentary work. If we want to create something that can have an impact, our subjects need to have trust in us. They also need to be informed on exactly what and why we are asking them to share their stories. Our expertise is being able to capture the essence of a person. To get these storytellers to share themselves. To share their highs and lows in the utmost detail. To then be able to share that to communities where emotion is at the forefront. Imagery doesn’t need words to tell a story, images should be able to speak for themselves. An image should strike people at their hearts, and then their brains. A story of any magnitude should incite meaningful conversations and have people question their own lives and values. This is what we always aim to do with our projects.

is a director and cinematographer who hails from Brooklyn, NY and currently splits his time between Los Angeles, New York, and Paris. He graduated from NYU’s Tisch film program and is haunted by a long overdue college library fee he continually forgets to pay. His excuse for this is his ongoing engagement making commercial, narrative, and documentary films which has brought him across the globe to far-flung places such as Iraq and the Congo. Much of his work is steeped in mood and emotional resonance but he is known in some circles to have a deft hand at writing comedy. He is also 1st generation Chinese-American and rather opinionated in matters of art and food. Outside of commercial and documentary work he is developing several narrative feature scripts. His short, Black Ghost Son, was nominated for Best Narrative Short at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2020. It is currently making its rounds on the festival circuit and being developed into a feature. Clients include: American Express, National Geographic, Tastemade, Columbia Sportswear, Chevrolet, NY Times, Bacardi, Budweiser, Playboy, Grey Goose Vodka, Snapchat, Timberland, Pepsi Co, Kraft, General Electric, and The US State Dept amongst others.

I have an insatiable appetite for storytelling. I co-founded in 2012, Beat the Streets Los Angeles, a nonprofit youth development organization. As Creative Director for this sports based org, I use film, photography and design to support our communication strategy. As often with nonprofits, we operate on a lean set of resources so I have become accustom to producing, shooting and editing our short documentaries, commercials and video articles solo while upholding an editorial standard. Outside of my role with Beat the Streets LA, I am a freelance filmmaker and photographer working with clientele from various industries including academic, real estate development and manufacturing. My expansive keenness for storytelling is founded in my architectural education where the investigative process is as much the reward as the end product, the building. Today though, I enjoy the shift to freelance work and a focus on storytelling where the narrative uncovers a place where people are central.

I have acquired a diverse set of skills. I've worked on professional film sets and student productions for UCLA and USC film school graduate programs. I've attended private labs for storytellers and edited content that created +7figures of profit for the client.

I'd truly love an opportunity to be a part of your project. Anything or everything I do, I do it amazing.
