Jaume Collet-Serra

Jaume’s one of those names you start seeing everywhere if you’re into the whole music video and commercial scene. He’s got this knack for directing stuff that actually sticks with you—like, you’ll catch a thirty-second spot and think, “Wait, who shot that?” and nine times outta ten, it’s him. He doesn’t just bounce from project to project, either. There’s a real sense that the guy’s got a vision, something sharp that separates his work from the cookie-cutter junk you scroll past on social media. Whether it’s a wild, flashy music video with insane visuals or a slick, clever commercial you’ll end up quoting, Jaume’s fingerprints are all over it. The dude’s built a reputation for shaking up the formula, taking risks, and somehow making it all look effortless. If you’re flipping through TV channels or down a YouTube rabbit hole, odds are you’ve seen his work and didn’t even realize it.

Filming ‘The Commuter’ was honestly wild, mostly because the whole thing’s set in just one spot—a train. Sounds easy, right? Nope. Try keeping people on the edge of their seat when you can’t just bounce to a fancy new location every ten minutes. That kind of boxed-in feeling made it both super tough and weirdly thrilling. I usually pick projects that freak me out a little, and this definitely fit the bill. It’s easy to get stuck doing the same old stuff, and I’m always paranoid about repeating myself. So, yeah, taking on a movie like this, where you’re forced to get creative with such tight boundaries, really pushed me. You’ve got to find fresh ways to make every scene pop, even if you’re literally just moving from one end of the train car to the other. That kind of creative pressure? Scary, but in the best way.
