BeachHouse Films, Santa Monica, Signs Fashion/Beauty Director Gregg Masuak for US representation.

Before branching into the world of Artistic/Stylistic Visual Storytelling and Fashion/Beauty, Gregg Masuak was an award winning Music Video director, directing such diverse artists as the Spice Girls, Hootie & The Blowfish, Celine Dion, Joe Cocker, Lionel Ritchie, Harry Connick Jr. and Kylie Minogue. This inevitably expanded into directing Commercials.

For music videos, Masuak was with the Oil Factory in London and the US. For spots, he then went on to (the now defunct) TTO in London, and is now with Fresh Film for European representation.

Masuak is back in Los Angeles, after directing in Europe for the last 4 years. His last project there, before returning to the US, was for Head and Shoulders, “Mermaid” for Saatchi and Saatchi, London.
He also directed other spots for Head and Shoulders, which featured Courtney Cox, Denise Richards, Salma Hayek and a Lux spot with Penelope Cruz. Other spots Masuak has directed include Nicky Clarke, Olay Color, NEC, Thompson Travel, Morphy Richards and Emporio Armani.

Gregg also has worked in the theatre as a director, writer and actor, studying under the acclaimed Larry Moss, among others. Masuak’s Short Film work, which he wrote and directed, “The Mary Quant Masque of Death” won acclaim at the London International Film Festival and “Born with Glasses” won the Gold Hugo at the Chicago International film Festival.

Masuak also has feature films and TV Series in development through his own feature production company, A Pig And Duck Go Shopping.

PGM Client and AWAL Records artist, Michaelangelo L’Acqua has released his debut EP, now available on iTunes.
L’Acqua got his start performing DJ gigs in NYC’s thriving R&B scene. His composition credentials vary from scores for film, original music for labels such as Sony Legacy, and crafting commercial themes on behalf of clients ranging from Old Navy to Puma to Ikea.

Over the years, L’Acqua has constructed a solid sonic identity. He has a hip, fresh approach to music with influences of jazz, soul, funk, and groove. “I see music in everything I do,” he says. “I tend to relate to my feelings through the colors of sound, and paint my life through music.”

L’Acqua will be performing solo acoustic sets this fall at Manhattan venues, including the Soho House. Dates will be forthcoming. For now check out iTunes for the Stereovista EP!
