Why AxS from ArtCenter

02 John X. Carey - Balancing Art and Commerce in Film


Listen Later

John X. Carey is a filmmaker and ArtCenter alum with a commitment to bringing social conscience to commercial spots. He was one of AdWeek’s top 20 content creators of 2016, and with good reason. He launched his career in 2013 with Dove’s Real Beauty pieces, which quickly went viral and remain some of the most-watched internet commercial of all time.

In addition to the well known piece for Dove, he has also created a recent piece for Apple about an autistic teen and a short film about singing group with serious breathing problems.

Today John discusses how his unconventional upbringing urged him toward a career in storytelling, why he gravitates to projects that give voice to unsung protagonists, and the public response to his pieces.
