After a decade of working internationally as Director and Media Artist, Brun has finally put together a show reel: a dynamic edit showcasing highlights of his work. Spanning from monumental projections to immersive experiences and live performances to interactive installations, it has, to his own admission, taken him to incredible places. And especially grateful to have had the opportunity to work with so many talented and inspiring people. And he is looking forward to many new creative adventures!

“Last month, I directed the official music video for @jamesgunn’s The Suicide Squad — the sickening track “RAIN” by @Grandson & @Jessie Reyez,” says Director John Poliquin. The concept was to integrate the artists seamlessly in the world of the movie and build out a parallel narrative featuring them as ass-kicking antiheroes. With only a single day to shoot 8+ scenes, I knew it was suicide. There were fight sequences, dance sequences, rain effects, stunts and visuals effects that seemed impossible given the time and budget constraints. To top it off, we lost our production designer and art department the Friday before our Monday shoot. We were dead in the water. Until production designer @kendrabell swooped in and saved our butts. With Kendra and her team’s superhuman hustle, they dressed the nightclub and prepped the practical effects over the weekend. The shoot day came, and with our fearless cast and crew, we went to battle. And everyone delivered. We created something full of blood, sweat and tears. Sometimes when something looks impossible, go out there and kick its ass anyway.”

“Big thank you to everyone involved with this project! Special shout out to cinematographer Bridger Nielson for giving us his eye on this project. Sorry I didn’t let you finesse much but we had to keep moving. Post-production had its own brand of insanity, but Max Colt and his VFX wizards turned it out for us.”

The Suicide Squad 2 premiered at Fantasia 2021.

Excerpt from Directorsnotes. Using archival footage from throughout hip hop artist Nathan Nzanga’s life, Enough from Director Caleb Slain (who we last saw on DN with moonlit short Demon) documents his journey as a young black teen growing up as part of a politically fractured country. Enough, however, is so much more than your typical music video. It’s an ambitious and exhilarating film-come-musical that spans a lifetime of personal growth and cultural trauma. This is the story of modern America and Slain embraces a dream logic to confront Nathan’s most conflicted thoughts on policing, acceptance, and grace. DN caught up with Slain, who walks us through his production, revealing the fundamental bonding his crew did in preparation to take on Nathan’s story, and his desire to create art that encourages mutual understanding.
