shots can exclusively reveal that production house Furlined welcome Greg Hackett to its roster of esteemed directors who have earned the company recognition as one of the top creative companies year after year.
Over the past 10 years, Hackett’s work has spanned commercials, original documentaries, and brand films, garnering a host of industry awards, including Golds at Cannes, British Arrows, and Ciclope. Hey Jude for Adidas out of Johannes Leonardo New York, is an intimate, deeply moving, and ultimately uplifting portrayal of the pressures on footballers, the edge-of-seat dedication of supporters, and the magic that binds them when faith and fervour meet talent and success. The film has received top accolades and awards across all international shows to date.
Diane McArter, President and Founder of Furlined, says, “Beyond authenticity, as a storyteller, Greg achieves a higher bar of emotional truth. As a filmmaker, he weaves together all aspects of the craft flawlessly, uniting and elevating the sum of the parts to create something that is as rare as it is beautiful. I can’t wait to see how Greg’s career unfolds from here. We're honoured and delighted to be on the journey with Greg, to make artful, impactful work that brings us closer together as an industry and as human beings.”
On joining Furlined, Hackett remarks, “From the first meeting with Di, it was clear that Furlined and Spindle share values and creative goals that align closely with my own. Their commitment to finding the right work, and supporting directors in executing it with such care and intelligence was a huge draw for me. It feels more like a family than a business, where craft and dedication is top of the list.
Additionally, some of my all-time favourite advertising directors are on their roster, so to be alongside those names is a real honour. The quality of the work that’s come out of Furlined over the years has consistently been top tier, and I want to be part of that legacy.”
Hackett is represented by Spindle in the U.K. and Furlined in the U.S.
