Vance Malone
- Director
- Producer
Vance was born in the smallest town, in the smallest county, in the smallest state in the nation. He eventually left the expanses of Wyoming for a media degree in Portland, a city he would call home for the next decade, cutting his teeth in production with a gung-ho, pull yourself up by your bootstraps mentality. Working the camera for Nike, Adidas, Goodwill and regional clients, Vance honed his signature aesthetic, with performance at its bedrock.
From there it was onto LA and larger narrative-based filmmaking. A slew of coups soon followed: a Clio for MTV's "Permission," a Cannes Lion for AdCouncil's "Cheerleader," and a Green Award of Excellence in Communication for directing Subaru. More recently his Sundance film, "The Poodle Trainer" received awards from AFI/Silverdocs, Cinema Eye, Worldwide Shortsfest, Gen Art and more before getting licensed by PBS.
When he's not tapping into universal cinematic themes, Vance can be found making artisanal homemade jerkies of all flavors or riding into remote sunsets on his motorcycle.
