HēLō Signs Jackass Director Jeff Tremaine

Venice, CA/NYC-based production hub HēLō has signed comedy helmer Jeff Tremaine for U.S. commercial representation. Coming on the heels of directing Bud Light’s 2014 Super Bowl offering, “Epic Night” with HeLo, he is also collaborating with EP Justin Moore-Lewy on an upcoming feature documentary project.

Tremaine, along with Spike Jonze and Johnny Knoxville, created jackass, a television series that became a cultural phenomenon, spawning the franchise of hits: jackass: the movie, jackass number two and jackass 3D, which were all #1 at the box office. Most recently, Tremaine directed jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, a loosely scripted narrative starring Johnny Knoxville, which was released by Paramount Pictures on October 25th, 2013 and quickly became Tremaine’s fourth consecutive #1 box office hit. 

Beyond jackass, Tremaine created and executive produced a number of television series, including MTV’s Wildboyz, Rob & Big, Nitro Circus, Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, Ridiculousness, and the Adult Swim series, Loiter Squad, starring the band “Odd Future”.

Tremaine has directed music videos for “Turbonegro”, “Andrew WK”, “The Sahara Hot Nights” and “Weezer”. He has also directed a number of commercials for clients such as “Nintendo”, “Glad”, “Orbit”, and “Bud Light”.

Additionally, he has directed and produced documentaries, including Steve O: Demise and Rise, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, a feature-length documentary about a family of outlaws that Tribeca Film acquired and distributed theatrically in 2010, and ESPN 30 For 30's The Birth of Big Air, an inspirational documentary about BMX legend Mat Hoffman.

Notes HēLō Executive Producer Justin Moore-Lewy, “Jeff is one of those rare folks who has a serious vision, knows how to execute, works all the hours day and night, and has fun doing it! I am old and life is short, those are the people I want to work with. I am over the moon to continue our relationship which started on our feature doc and Bud Light ‘Epic Night.’”
