Nick Reynolds, one of Australia’s most talented comedy performance directors, has joined Curious Film in Sydney.In 2006, Reynods came under the international spotlight after directing the hugely popular ‘Lynx Jet’ campaign for Lowe Hunt, Sydney which stars a bevy of hot air hostesses in very short mini-skirts - one of the most awarded campaigns in the world that year.
"I’ve had so much fun cutting Nick’s new Curious reel. He’s done a remarkable set of first-class award winning work. The majority of which is acutely funny material that I wasn’t aware was his," says Pete Grasse, at Curious Film Australia.
In 2004, Reynolds directed the ‘Plastic surgery’ spots starring Sir Richard Branson for Virgin Credit Cards, which bagged three DM Gold Lions for Leo Burnett. He won Gold for Lowe Singapore in 2002, Bronze for ‘Axe’ in 2003 and picked up a finalist for ‘Just Married’ for Saatchi NZ in 2005.
Although Reynolds disguises his blokey sense of humour behind a relatively charming façade, he is in fact one of the most observant, funny and accomplished performance comedy directors in the industry.
He enjoys an enviable career collaborating with agencies in Australia, Asia, Europe and the United States, directing spots that involve beautiful women, exotic locations, ridiculous story lines, hilarious scripts, and small dogs.
With a flair for delivering over-the-top performances or more subtle performances as needed, Nick possesses an impeccable eye for detail, making him one of the region’s most sought-after directors.
“Nick’s a poised and potent director that has the very present ability to provide a credible comedic alternative to this market. Moreover, he’s an easy guy to relate to and never fails to be fun. For me, that’s the perfect combination. We’re all very excited to have him at Curious," says Grasse.
Nick is represented in Australia and New Zealand by Curious Film, by Radke Films in Canada, and aWHITELABELproduct in the United States.

We love Nick!
He is a star, I would love to read the raw scripts of the commercials he has directed to fully appreciate his magic.

Nick is King. Bloody legend.
Kent! Happy Belated Birthday! How's it? - Dano
Nick is like Foie gras
all above comments courtesy of Peter Grasse of Curious Films Australia no doubt.
"“Nick’s a poised and potent director that has the very present ability to provide a credible comedic alternative to this market."
WTF?
Nick is like a big juicy apple
Dear 5:43,
You are correct in your assumption that I do indeed like Nick and appreciate his work. Nevertheless, I do prefer to comment under my own name, and am unlikely to have commented under the guise of either of the monkiers above. Thank you for thinking of me and I appreciate your vigilance.
Dear WTF:
Thank you for alerting me of the misuse of an essential part of speech in the below statement:
“Nick’s a poised and potent director that has the very present ability to provide a credible comedic alternative to this market"
By replacing the preposition "to" with the more appropriate prepostion "in", the statement achieves greater clarity and more accurately communicates what I intended to convey.
Thank you again for you assistance, and wishing you a pleasant evening.
Hey Pete,
Nick's a nice enough guy....but I would doubt even he would think of himself as poised and potent.
WTF
"... Just wanted to say to say thanks for all the cards and letters... Really surprised to hear from my good ol' cousins from the "other" Reynolds clan though... didn't realise they were out of the big house yet!
I guess what better ways than to while away the hours whilst you're "doing time" than perusing the Campaign Brief website...
By the way WTF...
I think you may have picked up on something... I'm going through IVF with my wife at the moment because getting my swimmers to do their job is like trying to get a group of pensioners off a bus after bingo.... I guess that makes me.... "poised but impotent" ?
Go Peter! Dude,,you own this blogsite Man, you have no equal Long may you blog this site
Peter Grasse totally rocks... first time I met him he was wearing a doctor's white gown. What an entrance...
WTF
A "monkier" is heaps funnier than a moniker. More appropriate for this blog, too.
Nick's got more talent in his little finger than most director have in their entire careers!
Good luck with the new company!
Jp
