On The Call Log: Drew Kirsch, From Film School Rejection To 11x MTV VMA Nominee

from The Call Log with Warner Bailey · host Warner Bailey

In this episode of The Call Log, Warner Bailey sits down with Drew Kirsch—music video and commercial director behind visuals for Taylor Swift, Quinn XCII, and Glass Animals—to talk about his untraditional journey from skate videos to award-winning sets. Drew opens up about dropping out of college, teaching himself the craft, and developing his signature aesthetic: colorful, nostalgic, and egg-forward. He shares stories behind viral music videos, directing massive ensembles like YG and Taylor Swift, and the creative chaos of building his debut feature film He Bled Neon. The conversation dives into his evolving inspiration process (yes, including Costco massage chairs), the highs and lows of filming in L.A., and the power of relentless hustle. Plus: dream collaborators, guilty pleasure tracks, and a surprising amount of mustard bottles.   Get on the guest list. AvA Newsletter AvA Instagram AvA TikTok AvA LinkedIn
