More about Stuart Fryer – director
Stuart got his lucky break when he struck up a friendship with the management of the band Oasis, going on to make their first commercial and the music video for the track Some Might Say. He then joined the agency Cunning Stunts as a music video director, where he got together with two creatives and produced the infamous VW “Suicide Bomber” viral that gained him instant notoriety and 28 million hits. He has since gone on to make virals and commercials for leading brands such as GHD, Sony, Cadbury’s and Lynx.
