Sweetshop signs acclaimed comedy director Trevor Clarence for representation in NZ

Global production company Sweetshop has signed comedy Director Trevor Clarence for representation in New Zealand.

Clarence has been described as having the wit of Cristiano Ronaldo and the body of Will Ferrell. He loves making ads. People tend to love making ads with him. He brings a cinematic touch to his comedy. Whether it’s designing the camera language, crafting a drum solo or workshopping a character with the actor, he uses his passionate in-depth love of every aspect of comedy and filmmaking to create compelling and hilarious films. He has a past as a successful stand-up comedian, feature filmmaker, actor, musician and yoga teacher. Well, maybe not a successful yoga teacher, but he has some certificates.

Says Ben Dailey and Kate Roydhouse, executive producers of Sweetshop New Zealand: “Trevor is an exceptional director with an innate ability to capture nuanced performance. His rare talents make for engaging and very entertaining work. What can we say apart from, Trevor, Trevor, he’s very clever.”

Clarence had this to say about the signing,  “A little while ago I tried to call my mate Ben Dailey and he couldn’t chat ‘cos he was in a PPM. Then the next day he called me back and I couldn’t chat ‘cos I was in a PPM. Then I was like… Wait a minute! What if we could be in the same PPM?! The rest is history.”

Says Wilf Sweetsland, global CEO of Sweetshop: “It’s a hard act to follow a quote from Trevor in a press release. He’s lovely, supremely talented, ok at writing quotes for press releases, and we are over the moon that he wanted to join the Sweetshop family.”
