With Pittroff, directing the comic storytelling, and Michell handling the food, the net result is easy communication for production and creatives, as well as the possibility of savings. Pittroff & Michell have worked together before and share a love for clean art direction and unencumbered execution. Michell, a Director/DP also shoots people, but spots like this benefit from Pittroff's specialty in the world of comedy/dialogue. There is a clear delineation regarding which portion of the spots they direct, but they each have a deep respect for the other's work and opinions and their shared goal.
