Producer / Editor
With over 15 years in commercial production, I am a producer/director and Editor who understands how to convey a message and how to bring creative to life.
From a producer’s perspective, I’ve handled everything from shoestring to 6-figure budgets. A true problem solver, I know how to execute productions while quickly adapting to changing priorities and circumstances. My creative work combines live-action performance-driven direction and editorial, telling unique stories for brands.
I jump into the fray with a hands-on open communication style that promises solid results and thought-provoking work. Prior to becoming a director, I served as a Creative Director where I led the creative team and was responsible for the final creative product. As a Creative Director-turned-Director, I have delivered impressive work for countless brands including: Virgin, Sony, Corby Spirit and Wine, Taco Bell, Volkswagen, Range Rover, AXE, Rogers and RBC to name just a few.

The Best Fit
I’m very interested in working in a collaborative environment for creative content companies who are aiming to inspire, who are transparent about the organisation, about their brand’s challenges. I love working with companies who encourage their creative partner’s to be open-minded and forthright with their ideas and creative solutions.

slide 3 of 2 We had a particularly challenging project for one of our clients that required video, stills, multiple social formats, digital, and all with a very limited budget & timeline. We had to find a collaborative partner to handle the soup-to-nuts approach as well as come to the table with creative solutions. we spoke with a few different companies - some traditional, some not - and the one that came back with the most creative & expeditious approach was Wonder Screen. Reilly and his nimble team put together a comprehensive schedule that allowed for creative spontaneity as well as the opportunity to render out multiple options before making a final decision.
Having control over the full project allowed them to stretch the dollars. The shoot day was choreographed masterfully - between shooting stills, video, and with some very laborious hair/makeup setups. They handled post, rendering, and multiple outputs.
The whole process went smoothly - save for a few hiccups on our side. Had we not had a partner that could offer full service, we would have had to sell client off of the idea, or deliver only partial assets. Clients were incredibly excited when the full 360 launched.
Since then, we have worked with Reilly on other projects and he has never once under-delivered.

Reilly Saso has been an ongoing go-to partner over the last few years. We have worked with Reilly in multiple capacities and for different needs from both the client side and for some of Roger’s Media own needs. On set, our clients (and ourselves) have been looked after as a valued partner in the creative process.
Inevitably we work under tight timing and often scaling of a project at the last minute. Reilly always delivers in these conditions which make the all Important delivery a reality in challenging conditions. Mr Saso brings a fully integrated approach which we have found value in when there are multiple asks on a particular job.
We know we can achieve delivery of assets on multiple platforms from initial idea to all distribution paths requested. I highly recommend Reilly Saso and consider him a very valuable partner.
