In Episode 15, we sit down with commercial and feature director Alex Richanbach to break down his unconventional path from working under legends like David Fincher and Adam McKay to directing viral content at Funny or Die and high-volume commercial campaigns. We dive into:
Building trust and chemistry with crews fast
Directing comedy and letting performances breathe
Managing chaos on high-pressure commercial shoots Why “fun” is actually a serious directing tool
The evolving future of commercials vs. YouTube-style filmmaking
Plus, Alex breaks down his Champs Sports campaign where talent dropped out two days before the shoot and how he adapted on the fly to still deliver.
If you’re trying to level up as a director, this one is packed with real-world insight.
