Brad DeMarea

Brad DeMarea

Brad DeMarea, the latest director to join Quriosity’s expanding roster, specializes in comedy and visual storytelling in both commercial and film platforms.

As a filmmaker, he loves shining a spotlight on characters that are normally on the edge of the frame and is in constant pursuit of a memorable visual.

 
Brad’s career began as an award-winning graphic designer working with clients ranging from Coca-Cola to Prince Tennis to Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches and everything in between. For a brief time in Los Angeles, Brad worked on movie posters for the major motion pictures but mostly enjoyed designing one sheets for independent and foreign films. Brad’s love of the iconic informs his never-ending pursuit of unique visuals, quotable dialogue, memorable performances and humorous moments.

As a commercial director, he has shot for Trident Gum, Kraft Cheese, Can-Am Spyder, Whole Foods Market, Cars.com, The Chicago White Sox, and Stella Artois to name a few.
