AMIT MEHTA
If Amit ran a circus he’d be the only act he needed to hire. If you have a script where the on-screen talent is celebrity, sports star, A-Lister actor or a tricky little kid, Amits’ your man. A one-man tour-de-force. Over the years, he has directed a range of established talent like Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Nicole Byer, Jane Lynch, LL Cool J, Bridget Moynahan, and Vin Diesel – in addition to extensive work making actors out of professional athletes in sports from basketball to cricket. Born out of his career on both sides of the camera (yep, he’s a paid up member of the acting fraternity as well) Amit’s work reflects a passion for eliciting nuanced, genuine performances and a predilection for both the awkward and the absurd. Amit’s Super Bowl ads for BMW enjoyed a long subsequent run, with one earning a best-of nod from TIME Magazine. Most recently, his work for CBS and Paramount+ was recognized with multiple awards and an Editor’s Pick on Creativity. Raise your glass to Amit.
