Bryan Buckley
Bryan Buckley is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, and two-time Academy Award nominated director.
Buckley's directorial debut came with a series of commercials he created for NHL on ESPN, before creating the "This is SportsCenter" campaign for ESPN in 1999. The work became a part of the ESPN brand, and launched Buckley into the commercial world. Buckley would go on to direct over 70 Super Bowl commercials. His first feature film The Bronze (2015), opened the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, while his second, The Pirates of Somalia (2017), premiered at Tribeca in 2017.
Two of his short films, ASAD (2013) and SARIA (2019), have been nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the Academy Awards. His two nominations in the same decade mark the first time a director has managed to return to the category in over 30 years.
Bryan Buckley's father, a one-time Army reservist, worked as an art director in a small regional ad agency and later became chair of Boston's New England School of Art. His mother worked as a top promotional executive at Jordan Marsh department store. His parents were both activists involved in the anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s. In 1976, his parents separated, and he returned to Massachusetts with his mother.
In his senior year of high school, Buckley was selected for the Short Term Institute at Phillips Andover preparatory school on a full art scholarship. He was then admitted to Syracuse University's design program; he finished his first class in advertising design there in 1985, but never enrolled in a film class during his time in college.
After graduating from Syracuse, Buckley began as an entry-level art director at Doyle Dane Bernbach.
In 1988, he co-founded his own agency, Buckley/DeCerchio, with his Chiat/Day co-worker Tom DeCerchio. Their first client was the 4 million dollar Godfather's Pizza account. Buckley and DeCerchio then hired friends and filmmakers who would work cheaply. Within a few months, Buckley and DeCerchio were on the cover of Adweek. In their first year open, their work for Godfather's Pizza was awarded with a Gold Pencil at the One Show, an advertising awards show.
The agency would go on to sign clients such as Yugo cars and Snapple, for whom they created the famous "Made From the Best Stuff on Earth" slogan. In December 1993, Buckley and DeCerchio made the cover of the New York Times business section. The next day they announced that they had closed the agency.
