Michael Pardee joins Sway Studio as exec producer after serving as head of production for commercials at Digital Domain since 2003.
This is a key development for Sway, said company founder and former Digital Domain exec Mark Glaser. Ive known Mike for more than 10 years and hes the perfect person to oversee all of our production in a seamless, cohesive and streamlined manner. Pardee will work alongside executive producer Shira Boardman.
Pardee brings vast live-action and post-production experience to his new position, having worked with directors such as Rob Cohen, Filip Engstrom, David Kellogg and David Fincher (Nikes award-winning GAME BREAKERS and last years Heineken Super Bowl spot starring Brad Pitt).
Pardee grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts, and received his BA in Political Science from Loyola in Chicago.
[Glaser] has built Sway into a breeding ground for artists to showcase their individual talents within a team atmosphere. The work and the level of talent from the artists are unsurpassed by other facilities.
