Riff Raff welcomes director Ehsan

London-based director Ehsan has signed to production company Riff Raff for commercial representation. 

Ehsan has worked across film, television, music videos and has directed commercial work for major global brands including the BBC, Nike, Google, Coca-Cola, Porsche, Channel 4, Fortnite and more. His films, says Riff Raff, are defined by a bold, high-energy visual language full of humour and heart, underpinned by a deep commitment to culture, inclusivity and authentic representation.

Ehsan began directing branded projects alongside A-list photographers, eventually heading up the video arm of JN Group, where he was commissioned to direct fashion films for brands such as Burberry, YSL and River Island. His commercial career gained momentum with a playful ‘SPOT the Difference' film for Louis Vuitton x Kusama, followed by a Vertu commercial that won at the Young Director Award, opening the door to high-profile automotive campaigns for BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar and Lexus.

"Riff Raff’s been my production company crush ever since I started directing."

Ehsan has increasingly focused his lens on stories rooted in culture and community, collaborating with brands such as the NFL, Nike, Pringles, and the Premier League, and he has continued to showcase his style by celebrating colourful characters and life’s odd little ironies. Ehsan says his mission is to "open minds on screen and doors off screen, championing mentorship and charitable partnerships while striving to give a voice to the voiceless".

“It’s an honour to be so warmly welcomed into the home of some of the best talent on the planet," said Ehsan. "Riff Raff’s been my production company crush ever since I started directing *blushes every time the RR group chat lights up <3* Unapologetic, subversive, and slightly unruly… Culture-first; completely my type! Buzzing to see what trouble we get into together...”

“We’re beyond excited to welcome Ehsan to the family," added Joint Managing Partner of Riff Raff, Jane Tredget. "A director with a seriously distinctive visual voice, he brings together culture, craft and heart in everything he makes. Whether he’s behind the camera or behind the decks, Ehsan has an incredible instinct for rhythm, storytelling and connection… and it shows in his work. On top of being a wildly talented director, he’s an all-round lovely human being. We can’t wait to see what we make together.”
