Nelson Salis is a Brooklyn-based director and former agency creative. He still loves developing ideas as much as directing them.

Whether working with documentary subjects or scripted material, Nelson is drawn to the subtle details that quietly shape how moments are felt. His work is rooted in emotion, atmosphere and quiet intensity.

Before focusing primarily on directing, Nelson developed award-winning work for brands including Mercedes-Benz, Sprite and The New York Post. His background in creative direction continues to inform the way he approaches every project, regardless of the medium.
