Involuntary loneliness is rising, and su***de is sadly the leading cause of death among young people in Scandinavia. In this moving piece of work from director Daniel De Viciola, MiND - an organisation that provides mental health assistance, calls for support to handle the avalanche of calls from people dealing with mental illness.

It’s a relatable problem in Ireland.

Daniel crafts a stunning spot, with emotive performances, composed photography, technical sophistication and his characteristic restraint. The hallmarks of Daniel’s work are technical virtuosity and camera magic aligning with composed art direction and visual flair.

We are delighted to welcome Stephen Pipe to the Butter family!

Stephen is a multi award-winning, comedy titan who finds the funny in everything. His hilarious TVCs and television work is grounded in relatable, funny situations.

Stephen started working the same year that ‘Chicken Tonight’ first hit the shelves and spent many years working at London’s top advertising agencies as a clever creative, before jumping to the other side.

Oh yeah, he’s also gut wrenchingly funny. Or as we say a Good Craic Pipe… but we will leave the comedy to him.

We are excited to welcome Daniel de Viciola to the Butter roster!
Daniel’s work mixes striking visuals with seamless technical virtuosity, effortlessly weaving live action and photo-real 3D elements. Daniel has long played with artful experimentation in many forms, from book design to illustration; in his evolution as a director his work has retained that focus on craft and meticulous attention to detail.
Daniel’s work is known for its movement. One motion leading into the next, one image striking another like a string of dominoes - he creates poetic and choreographed films where every shot and every move has a distinct reason for being.
Daniel is a Uruguayan Swede, based in Stockholm, working all over the world. And surfing when he has time.

Welcome to the team Daniel!
