Bradley Hasse is director and writer working in film, music videos and advertising. While studying Marketing at the W.P. Carey School of Business, Brad began moonlighting as a one-stop-shop filmmaker for mini documentaries about culture and travel which put him on the road in the years after getting his degree, filming for various clients and television networks in over 20 countries around the globe. After being awarded with a FABRICA scholarship (United Colors of Benetton’s communication and arts research center) and moving to Treviso, Italy, he spent nearly two years of his artist residency focusing more on narrative and commercial work and created campaigns for the likes of the World Health Organization, exhibition work with the Centre Pompidou, interviews with iconoclasts such as Al Gore, and short films played at film festivals worldwide.

In the commercial world, Brad has worked with clients including Duracell, Dos Equis, Playmobil, Google, Jim Beam, Credit Karma, United Colors of Benetton, AutoTrader, Listerine, Yahoo!, and has helped many of the projects find viral success, like the hit April Fools campaign for Scope’s “Bacon Flavored Mouthwash” that reached a billion impressions in a few short weeks.

In feature films, Brad made his directorial debut with Songs for a Sloth, a drama/comedy about an ex-musician (Richard Hollman of Law and Order, Guiding Light) who is on the edge of a nervous breakdown when he meets a talking sloth (voiced by Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock, Wreck-It Ralph) that convinces him to pick up the guitar again to make music for a fundraising effort to save the sloth’s habitat. The film has taken home the Best Feature award at Paris Play Film Festival and Venice Film Awards amongst other accolades, and was released in the Spring of 2021 by Gravitas Ventures.
