Gregg Masuak

Director, Producer, Writer and Adventurer Gregg Masuak's career forms an eclectic planet spanning all forms of communication, entertainment and media. A multiple graduate with a Certificate in Cinematography (NSTC) and a BA in Communications (University of Technology, Sydney), Masuak initially gained the attention of music executives with his earliest, avant-garde shorts, launching a career that found him directing such iconic stars as Spice Girls, Kylie Minogue and Take That. His expertise in bringing out the best in people earned him a Juno and two MTV Awards and subsequently led the ad industry to his doorstep. Finding that psychological sweet spot advertisers were seeking, Masuak put his visual stamp on such diverse brands as Emporio Armani, Barclays, NEC and Olay, all the while honing his passion for his own special brand of unusual storytelling. He gained a reputation for extracting great performances from both novices and celebrities, working with actors like Courtney Cox, Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz. His not-so-short film "Born With Glasses" won Best Comedy/Satire in the Chicago International Film Festival while more recently The Independent and The Huffington Post dubbed his Aids Alliance "Come Together" spot as "one of the most provocative ads to be screened on British television." His recent short film "I'll Meet You There" was exhibited at the prestigious Tate Modern in London and will be unfolding as a feature version. Masuak is now gearing up to direct several other self-penned feature film and TV projects, notably "Flycatcher" - a darkly comic thriller that won rave reviews in its staged version recently in London, and comedy-drama-metaphysical thriller "Canoga Faults", a 1-hour series gaining alliances in Hollywood. Meanwhile Masuak is also author of the irreverent "The Spiritual Slob", a self-help book like no other, set to feature Masuak on-screen as the world's mouthiest anti-guru in a series of oblique adventures around this crazy planet of ours.
