Todd Haynes is an American writer-director represented for U.S. commercials by Moxie Pictures. Between narrative features he has directed brand spots for Givenchy, Revlon, and Heineken. The clearest dated campaign is Givenchy’s L’Interdit fragrance film (December 2018), starring Rooney Mara and logged on Directors Library; a Revlon “Ruby” spot appears on his Moxie reel. His feature career includes Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, Sundance-winning Poison, Velvet Goldmine (Cannes Special Jury Prize), Far From Heaven (four Oscar nominations), I’m Not There, HBO’s Mildred Pierce, Carol (six Oscar nominations; shot on 16mm), Wonderstruck (Cannes Palme d’Or nominee), Dark Waters, The Velvet Underground (2021), and May December (2023). Recurring collaborators include Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and producer Christine Vachon. Critics note work that walks “a tonal line between winking playfulness and a sincere gooey heart,” plus exhaustive “image book” pre-production drawn from cinema, photography, and painting. Brand assignments sit in fashion-lifestyle and beauty, using the same celebrity-performance and period-polished sensibility as his features. No Super Bowl, automotive, or major commercial-circuit awards are evidenced.
