He was a GCD on the spot. David Povill (CW) and his partner Ryan (AD) came up withe the work.

As a GCD, he did as little as possible in order to take a lot of the credit for it. He based the rest of his career on the work his CW and AD did.

If he was the GCD but helped sell it through, produce it, edit, find a good director, fight for the best edit, he did his job.

i think the issue is that he doesn’t give credit where it’s due when talking about the spot. that’s how it was when i worked with him

Rarely does a gcd have anything to do with coming up with an idea. That’s not their job. Did he sell the spot to the client?

This jackwipe namedrops “little darth” as soon as he meets you (truth), and then continues to namedrop it more than when someone who used to work at goodby or wk begins every gdmf story with “when I was at Goodby...”
