Ramesh Iyer hails from the Pacific Northwest and is now based in Los Angeles. Nominated for two ADC Young Guns Awards at Cannes, winner of an AICP award, and as part of the permanent collection at MOMA in New York, his background spans degrees in art, film and advertising.
Ramesh started in the commercial world, concepting, writing and designing treatments for some of the top feature directors creating commercials. Later as part of the Swedish collective, ACNE, Ramesh worked on both the creative and production side of advertising. This shaped Ramesh's directing approach working with the language of agencies and clients.
Ramesh's work combines observational humor with an irreverent sensibility. His style is characterized by impeccable framing, absurdist comedy, and quirky characters, all rooted in strangely realistic spaces.
