COOPER GUNN DAVIS
FREELANCE DIRECTOR

New York and Los Angeles-based director specializing in cinematic sports and elevated lifestyle/fashion. With a foundation in concert photography and a natural flair for directing, he spent his high school years skipping class to tour for months on end with major label artists.

While working full-time in high school and traveling weekly between Utah and LA, he began directing in-house at Universal Music Group. He built an impressive portfolio of branded spots, collaborating with top industry names such as Nike, Steve Madden, Smirnoff, Marriott, Honda, Lexus, Lululemon, and Celsius. Cooper's work is dynamic and rich with character, employing bold, innovative techniques that infuse every frame with a vibrant, youthful spirit. He has a unique ability to capture a larger-than-life feeling with remarkable authenticity tailored to both platform and medium. Additionally, was nominated for both a Webby and a Canes Lion in 2025.
