“Homeland” Director David Semel Joins Accomplice Media for Advertising Assignments

(Los Angeles, California–May 1, 2014) Director David Semel, whose television credits include Homeland, “American Horror Story” and “House M.D.” and “Person of Interest” with JJ Abrams has signed with Santa Monica-based Accomplice Media for representation in commercials. It’s the first time Semel has pursued work in advertising. A two-time Emmy nominee, Semel most recently directed the CBS pilot, Madame Secretary, starring Tea Leoni.

Semel has long been interested in directing commercials and says the advent of long-form narrative-driven advertising content has created a demand for his skill set. “I’ve always been enamored with commercial media because it’s aggressive, forward-thinking and visually arresting,” he explains. “I also like the brevity and economy in storytelling.”
