The signature style of Backyard Productions director Rob Pritts is to find uncommon takes on otherwise banal situations and behavior. Once a simple industrial filmmaker from Arlington Heights, Rob was plucked from Chicago’s northwest suburbs and thrust into the spotlight after directing a commercial for WLUP Radio/Chicago. He holds a bachelor’s degree in cinema from Southern Illinois University. With a client list that includes LG, Charter, AT&T, SEGA, Twix, Snickers, Altoids, Minute Maid, M&M’s, AXE, American Express, ESPN, Dr. Pepper and Molson; and celebrity talent, including Jerry Seinfeld, Denis Leary and Sean Hayes; and brooding thespians such as George Hamilton and William Shatner, it’s easy to see why Pritts is in demand. He has won and/or been nominated for every major award in the industry and earned a Gold Clio for "Bob in a Box," the first spot he ever directed at Backyard.
