Director, Producer, Writer and Adventurer Gregg Masuak's extensive and eclectic career has spanned 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, Celine Dion 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.Masuak moved to putting his acclaimed emotional and visual stamp on such diverse brands as Emporio Armani, Barclays, NEC, Olay and NSPCC, 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 Penelope Cruz, Courtney Cox and Salma Hayek. His film "Born With Glasses" won Best Comedy/Satire in the Chicago International Film Festival, and beyond the accolades Masuak has championed a truly international voice and is a fierce supporter of the alternative. 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 short film "I'll Meet You There" was exhibited at the prestigious Tate Modern in London and will be unfolding as a feature film, "Everything Depends On This", expected to be presented at the Tate Modern again, this coming year.Masuak's visual style has recently further evolved with him returning more and more to combining the roles of Director and Director of Photography for projects that require his signature nuanced, intimate point of view. On the front-burner Masuak is engaged a series of self-penned feature film and television projects, notably "Flycatcher" - a darkly comic thriller which won rave reviews in a staged version recently in London and which recently won "Most Innovative Screenplay" at City of Angels Women's Film Festival; "Canoga Faults" - a 1-hour TV dramedy/metaphysical thriller gaining alliances in Hollywood; "Jammed In Zero", a timely farce about belief systems collapsing in our overwhelming world; and "The Keeper", a haunting metaphysical thriller dealing with themes of addiction, loss, reality and forgiveness, based on true events.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.
