About Cole Sax

"Cole’s talent is undeniable… He is amongst the best we have ever worked with." - Andrew Fried, President, Boardwalk Pictures"He is an impressive storyteller and a fabulous collaborator... Cole is well on his way to being a breakout star in this business." - Nadine Zylstra, Global Head of YouTube Originals"I was instantly taken by his creative eye, attention to detail... Cole’s great dedication, knowledge, passion, and creativity will serve him well." - Aneka Hylton-Donelson, Director of Development, National Geographic ChannelAs an award-winning filmmaker, development executive, and creative director, the intersection of global cultures and the human spirit lies the canvas for Cole's storytelling. From the Himalayan foothills to the rice fields of the Philippines, his directorial lens has crafted narratives for giants like YouTube Originals, Snapchat, VICE, Google, and The Olympics. But it's not just about the views (which amount to hundreds of millions) or the accolades (including 20 in their 20’s, Cannes Silver, Gold Tellys, Clio, Mountainfilm's Spirit Award, and a Daytime Emmy Award). It's about exploring today’s culture through character-driven storytelling that not only entertains but also connects and inspires.In collaboration with Boardwalk Pictures, the brains behind 'Chef's Table' & 'Last Chance U', Cole birthed the award-winning 'World Debut,' for YouTube Originals. Cole delved into the subcultures of skateboarding, surfing, and climbing, charting their 20-year journey to the Olympic Games. The project, executive produced by Tony Hawk, stands a testament to Cole's knack for exploring today’s culture through bold, character-driven storytelling.His commitment to impactful narratives has translated into tangible change, like spurring the development of India's first winter Olympic training facility through the award-winning series ‘Far From Home’ shining a light on Olympic hopefuls’ extraordinary journeys. It's ushered him to the TEDx stage, Young Presidents Organization and instigated workshops globally with the U.S. Embassy. Add The Obama Foundation, Reach Higher, and Khan Academy to the mix, and you see a creator committed to authenticity.Yet, beyond the films and the accolades lies a mission: To inspire brands, networks, and organizations to champion stories that don't just sell, but also shape our world for the better. When not behind the camera, you'll find Cole globetrotting, scaling mountains or skiing down them.Because for Cole, life itself is a story waiting to be told. And he's here to tell it, one frame at a time.
