Say “G’day” to our newest Tiger, Francine McDougall. She’s directed hundreds of commercials, promos, and branded spots since launching her career at the Sundance Film Festival. A native of Sydney, Australia, her award-winning short film Pig! caught the eye of networks and agencies alike. She went on to create campaigns for Bravo, Food Network, Nat Geo, USA Network, TLC, HGTV, E! and many more. Her commercials include spots for Sony Playstation, Kellogg’s Special K, Maytag and Ethan Allen. Francine has directed the gamut of celebrities from Oprah to Bravo’s Housewives, and loves them all. Her background is in feature film, TV series, documentaries, and still photography. Her foreground is living in LA with a suitcase standing by, for wherever your next shoot takes her!
