Emmy award winning director Patrick Clair has joined Sedona Productions for representation across Australasia.
Best
known for his iconic title sequences for series including True
Detective, Westworld and The Crown, Patrick Clair is a director who
works at the intersection of storytelling and design.
Clair's work is about creating poetic images, rich with symbolism that
is meaningful, arresting and shareable. He's obsessed by icons, and
their power to tell stories and inspire emotion. He's fascinated by the
human form and the camera's ability to
capture the nuance of a
character, combining innovative live-action techniques with creative
post-production to forge imagery that is unique, and compelling.
His
passion for uncompromising design and execution is evident in his
collaborations with leading global brands including Louis Vuitton, Audi,
Estee Lauder, Apple, Toyota, Adidas and PlayStation.
Says Clair
on joining Sedona: "I'm thrilled to become part of such a talented
roster. Australia, and our neighbours, has a thriving visual culture
that values craft, honesty and directness. After years spent on the far
side of the world, I can't wait to start creating work back in the place
of my birth.
"Australian crews are among the best in the world,
and our creative culture feeds on inventiveness and open-mindedness.
From live-action to design to all sorts of hybrids in between, it's
going to be great working with local collaborators to forge projects
that are distinctive and engaging."
Clair has been nominated
nine times at The Emmy Awards for Outstanding Main Titles, winning
twice, as well as taking home numerous Lions, Pencils, Cubes at revered
industry award shows. The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the
Cooper Hewitt Design Museum have also showcased his work.
Says
Kim Wildenburg, managing director, Sedona Productions: "Patrick is such a
brilliant talent, a humble guy and his work is stunning. Coming from a
design background, I've admired his work for many years and I couldn't
be more delighted and honoured that he has joined Sedona's roster."
