New York's Bruce Hurwit moves to The Feds

No stranger to Australia, Hurwit has worked for both Sydney and Melbourne agencies directing campaigns for Carlton Cold and Twisties and is currently directing a spot for Uncle Toby’s via McCann’s, Sydney.

He started his career in NYC as an art director at advertising agencies BBD&O and Cliff Freeman & Partners.

As a creative director and film director, his award winning work for Little Caesars has seen him go on to direct dialogue based situational comedy.

"Casting is my strength," admits Hurwit. "I enjoy casting people that bring some truth to their role”.

Hurwit has worked with improv and well-known actors such as, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Rick Moranis and Michael Caton.

After years of working on TVCs with global clients at Crossroads Films NY, LA and London, Hurwit also took on film directing and executive producing with Cartoon Network’s first live-action/animation mixed movie Re-Animated.

He also directed and produced Split the Difference, a sitcom about the forces of mediocrity and desperation in advertising. It won the New York TV Festival and was picked up by NBC.

Hurwit has been awarded by The Museum of Modern Art, NY where his Little Caesars spots remain in its permanent collection and other industry awards include Cannes Lions, Clios and AICP awards.
