Adam Donald - Exquisite Life
“In the confusion of life, keep peace with your soul” I wanted to explore the importance of looking inward during times of outward chaos, and how sometimes the biggest shifts can come from being with nature and sitting in the stillness of our own selves. Adam Donald's concept behind his film for Exquisite Life, a new H.S. Fam Production!
EXQUISITE LIFE - Conceived by KEZIA, inspired by our current times and also the poem ‘Desiderata’ by Max Ehrmann, each director captured material within our current COVID restraints. A video version of an old parlour game, ‘Exquisite Life’ uses a technique invented by the Surrealists in the 20th Century - Exquisite Co**se - and applies it to video. During lockdown, Honor Society directors shot 30-60 second films, passing the last 5 seconds onto the next director to instigate their film who then passed only their last 5 seconds to the next director and so on.

Juliana Curi - Exquisite Life
Enjoy Juliana Curi's film for Exquisite Life, a new H.S. Fam production! Juliana’s insight into her creative process and inspiration: “At this moment when the world asks us to pause, I chose a scene from my last shoot in the Amazon Rainforest. A single long take of a boat sailing the Rio Negro, a river of oceanic proportions, enchanted, generous, the lungs of our world."

Cynthia Wade - Exquisite Life
“In the midst of the raging pandemic, banal domestic moments -- emptying the dishwasher, working out with soup cans, taking a masked walk, a birthday message from a friend -- are comforting reminders that ordinary routines are sometimes the best salve.” Cynthia Wade's wonderful concept for her film from EXQUISITE LIFE, a NEW H.S.

Molly Schiot - Exquisite Life
“An animated acid tripping cartoon eyeball is a hard spring pad to jump off of. I was thinking about possibilities and was striking out. A few days later I was feeding my baby cheese and she was throwing pieces onto the floor and classical music was blasting in the background. Within a moment the dog scooped it up and it seemed pretty apropos. Just a tiny simple clip from a very real life moment. I love that Kezia did this ! Such a great distraction.” Molly Schiot's concept behind her film as part of Exquisite Life, a new H.S. Fam Production!

Ariel Danziger - Exquisite Life
Next up is Ariel Danziger's film as part of our new Exquisite Life project. Ariel outlines his concept and inspiration: “At the height of Covid in NY. I was feeling a toxic relationship with screens and devices. This piece echoed how I felt trapped in my own head and home blasted by content, news and media.It was intended to just capture the feeling at that time and place. “

Honor Society & Free The Work
Excited to announce our official partnership with Free The Work featuring our fabulous directors Anna Wolf, Ariel Danziger, Cynthia Wade, Juliana Curi, KEZIA, Kristin Dehnert, Molly Schiot, and Tati Charriere, representing nearly 60% of our roster!
From our Founder/Managing Partner, Megan Kelly:
“As a woman-owned production company, we recognize how imperative diversity and inclusion are for creativity, opportunity, and powerful storytelling. When FREE THE WORK first launched as Free The Bid, we saw the tremendous impact it made in changing the bidding process and how it opened up the possibilities for underrepresented directors. Honor Society is fortunate to rep a group of diverse directors, who have really risen to the challenges of this Pandemic. We are all learning to work in new ways and our team really welcomes that challenge. Our roster is made up of nearly 60% of FREE THE WORK directors and we pride ourselves on being advocates for the perspective of the voices of underrepresented talent.
Additionally, Honor Society has recently joined forces with The Producers, also a woman-owned production company in Australia. Our partnership allows us to represent each other's directors for remote shooting in Australia. We are excited to partner with FREE THE WORK, not only as a platform to amplify our directors, but to discover emerging talent and be an active voice of change in our industry at large."

The Producers - Thuy Vy - Melbourne Polytechnic
More awesome work as part of our partnership with The Producers. Today, we are excited to feature Thuy Vy. Most directors have an eye for things you can “see”. Seems obvious, we know. Thuy Vy however has an eye for things you can “feel”. We’re talking specifically about atmosphere here. You can see it in everything he does (correction, you can feel it in everything he does). Thuy learned this dark magic through his love of photography but he brings it, really brings it when he harnesses all of the motion video director’s tools of the trade. That’s why his 2018 short film “Still Life” was chosen as one of the Fabulous Four for ADFEST and went on to win the audience award. It’s fabulous, but also it won the audience award. The esteemed judges liked it, but also the real people sitting in the stalls liked it. He creates atmosphere that you want to surround yourself with. Enjoy Thuy’s amazing spot for Melbourne Polytechnic. #honorsocietyfilms #theproducerproduce #partnership

The Producers - Lou Quill - Sailors Grave
Sharing some more great work as part of our partnership with The Producers! Today, we are excited to feature Lou Quill. There’s no missing the heart of the story when Lou Quill is at work. She’s patient. Lou waits for the moments on set, digs for the truth in an actor’s performance, then she elevates the emotion through visuals that are beautiful and epic. This is not easy within the confines of an ad brief or the terrifying time constraint known as the standard thirty with a fifteen second cut down. So how does she do it? Lou looks for the symbolic in a script, the small moment or the visual cue that can quickly turn a pursuit into a game or a small smile into an expression of quiet, confident love. Lou has been awarded highly for this, many times with deserved recognition from Cannes to New York for her style and sensitivity. Which is why, if you’re going to be emotionally punched, let Lou do it to you. It will be a beautiful bruise and you’ll love her for it. Enjoy Lou’s fabulous spot for Sailors Grave. #honorsocietyfilms #theproducerproduce #partnership

Colin Skyba - The Producers - Google
More fun spots as part of our partnership with The Producers! Today, we are excited to feature Colin Skyba. Let’s talk about reactions. No, actually, let’s talk about reactions as depicted by Colin Skyba. If you like your reactions real, if you like your performances believable, if you like your people to act the way living, breathing, walking, talking people really do, then Colin’s your man. Wait. Rewind. Is realness in advertising important? Well, yes as a matter of fact. It’s important because people relate to people. That’s why we can look Colin’s characters in the eye and we can trust them and we can say to ourselves, that’s us. That’s why Colin is so good. He takes the act out of reactions. Enjoy Colin’s awesome spot for Google. #honorsocietyfilms #theproducerproduce #partnership

Mitch Kennedy - Choice Hotels "Need A Break?"
Following the official announcement of our partnership with The Producers, we will be sharing work from their amazing director roster. First up is Mitch Kennedy!
Mitch Kennedy has a great eye. It’s an eye that sees the potential in an idea and he sees instantly how to do it in a big and exciting way. He visualizes how to shoot the impossible, so don’t you worry about that. His eye is like the Eye of Sauron, up there on a mountain, burning with ambition. He knows how to create a spectacle. But it’s not the work of Mordor. It’s friendlier, it’s funnier and it’s more charming than that. He’s got a great eye, does our Mitch, and when the script calls for it, he’s not afraid to let it wink.
Enjoy Mitch’s hilarious spot for Choice Hotels! #honorsocietyfilms #theproducerproduce #partnership
