ABOUT

[ JOHN BURGESS ]
I'm a creative writer and director from Minneapolis.
I turn ideas to words and words to images. I operate largely on coffee, curiosity, and comedy. Also: Alliteration. Apparently.
Most of my good ideas come when I’m on a bike—some of my worst when I'm on a boat. (Don't know why.)
My work consists of narrative and documentary storytelling in TV, commercials, micro-series, branded short films, and digital.
I help brands tell stories. I make stories connect.
I’m ambitious. I dig into projects, and I work hard to find the right creative. My favorite is the moment it clicks.
I enjoy a good board game, covet my collection of McSweeney's, and love to project movies in my backyard. Being with my wife and daughters is everything.
