Open Spaces Productions introduces their new director Dean Friske to the Perth industry
Production company Open Spaces has added experienced director Dean Friske (pictured centre left) to its line-up and introduced him to Perth agencies and post-production companies this week.
“Dean has been directing for over 15 years, he’s known for nuanced performance, comedic timing and all things post as well as his experience as a copywriter and screenwriter, 
which helps when asked to collaborate on ideas and scripts,” said Open Spaces principal Beatrice Masia. “He’s an affable, easygoing guy who knows how to get the job done with minimal fuss, loads of dedication and ultimately, respect for the story at hand and the creative’s intentions.”
Cutting his teeth doing Foxtel work, Frsike’s commercials directing has earned him numerous New York Festival and World Promax awards, whilst his writing has been acknowledged by both the Australian Writers Guild and international Oscar nominating festivals. He also won the Gruen Transfer pitch in 2011 with his Kwantas tvc.
Aside from Foxtel, he’s worked with some of the best known brands, such as AMP, Westpac, Yahoo!7, Cancer Council and Xbox.
A very busy few days for Friske and Masia finished up with drinks at Varnish on King last night.
