#021 Directing Through Loss & Grief with Justin Rossbacher | CRY

On today’s episode of Filmmakers In Advertising, Director Mwita Chacha interviews Director Justin Rossbacher on Directing through Loss & Grief.

I (Codey) initially wanted to share how we adjusted to such a shocking situation as a company, but, ultimately, we realized it was important that Justin simply share his experience of how he had to direct one of the biggest commercial campaigns of his career, at the time, while receiving the news that his brother was dying. 

We talk about: 

• Mortality 
• Love for your sibling
• Having a special relationship with your client
• Creating with people you care about
• Anxiety as unprocessed sadness
• And turning grief into art

So, if you want to hear how a director navigated massive loss while in the midst of a large commercial production, but also how his collaborators and friends showed up and got him through it, this one’s for you.
