Innovative directing duo Alexandra Bolton and Diesel Schwarze, known professionally as Augustus Punch, specializes in creating projects with playful spectacle and attention-grabbing energy. The pair’s distinctly whimsical visual work seamlessly weaves in-camera and technical transitions with ambitious set builds and rich art direction. Formed in 2010, Augustus Punch has since directed high profile spots, frequently starring celebrities, for global brands including Louis Vuitton, Tumi, Macy's, Sony, Microsoft, Toyota and Honda.
