My name is Cole Mueller. I’m a writer and director based in Los Angeles focused on telling stories across multiple mediums while utilizing new technology.
I graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts and have been making movies, television, and commercials ever since. No matter what I’m shooting, I always push myself to achieve something unique, creative, and hopefully entertaining. I have a huge passion for storytelling, but also for visual effects, and have tried to blend the two in my work as much as possible. I want to create, dream, and collaborate with creative people.
I also love coffee, cocktails, and have 2 little girls.
I spend a long time on my commercial briefs; days and sometimes weeks. I try to attack the idea from a new angle, and come up with something that hasn’t been done before. I remember watching the BMW commercials with Clive Owen and thinking “wait you can turn a commercial into an entire movie?” I was really inspired by that series and that’s the kind of commercial work I strive to do.
Television
I am constantly writing treatments for television shows. Most recently, I produced and directed two episodes of my own series titled “Limited Edition” which secured distribution through Buffalo 8 Productions and had a really nice run on the festival circuit. That series premiered at the Dances With Films Festival to a sold out crowd at the world famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
Film
I currently own and operate the production company FILMKID where we are developing feature films in a number of genres and plan to go into production on our next feature in the spring of 2024. Film is where my heart is. Like most filmmakers, I dream of making something as good as a Scorsese or Coppola epic.
Commercials
I have worked on all types of different commercials, at various budget levels, and for brands all over the world through my commercial production company Vitascope Arts. I always approach the brief from a storytellers perspective while utilizing visual effects in new and interesting ways.
