Had such a blast directing these spots for Target Circle Week 🎯 Huge shoutout to the hilarious cast & the incredible LA crew who brought their A-game and made an overnight shoot genuinely fun. I’m especially grateful we got to keep this production local- supporting work in LA is more important than ever right now. Big thanks to the Target creatives for being so open and collaborative! So lucky I get to make cool, funny things with good people.

Three months ago, after a 36-hour labor, Danielle gave birth to our daughter, Ruthie Rose Katvan. The kid had impeccable timing, arriving right on her due date!
Her namesake is Raimy’s beloved Grandma, who was a force of nature dropped into a world she was way ahead of: tenacious, joyful, and filled with moxie. And so far, this babe isn’t far behind: She’s all smiles and mischief, growing cheekier by the day, both literally and figuratively.
We can’t wait to take her on all of our adventures. But for now, we’re getting to know each other and planting seeds in our new corner of LA.
As for Larry, he’s figuring out how to share space with this wiggly lil’ amoeba 🤞🏻
More eventually,
Danielle, Raimy, Larry & Baby Ruthie (FKA Sesame)
We are thrilled to announce that director @daniellekatvan ’s latest campaign with @lego has won the 45th Annual Gold Telly Award!
