Bio & background

Jacob Sillman is an NYU Tisch School of the Arts alumnus and commercial director on the roster at CamLock Films (Austin / Southwest US). CamLock describes him as a director-editor with over 14 years creating comedic and documentary-leaning branded work for Google, GE, LG, Toyota, HelloFresh, and Spotify, using a character-first, human-interest approach that blends scripted comedy and documentary craft into lighthearted, quick-moving spots. Trade-visible work includes the 2016 Walrus campaign for the North American Effie Awards—“Logos,” “Sales,” “Voiceover,” and “Impressions”—performance-driven satirical spots skewering awards case-study clichés, produced through Whiteboard Pictures and covered by Adweek. Other directed credits include Spotify’s “Allyship” (2019), Herbal Essences “Day in the Life” (2019), LG Signature (2018), LG’s “To me you are perfect” (2013), ASPCA, Spark for Autism, Taglit Birthright Israel, Top View Tours, Offset, and a Cutaway Creative Dragon Ball Z game spot combining live action and VFX. He founded and ran Whiteboard Pictures for roughly eight years and freelanced with New York agencies including Havas and Ogilvy. Narrative credits include Manhattan Short finalist The Pale of Settlement and romantic-comedy pilot The Cold Approach. Spot-level brand evidence is strongest through 2021.
