TG Herrington started his career editing commercials and music videos for such directors as David Fincher, Michael Bay and Michel Gondry. His post-production experience parlayed his move into the director’s chair filming commercials for Nike, Budweiser, Toyota and other global brands. In 2011, at the urging of director and frequent collaborator Simon West, TG signed on to edit the action film The Mechanic, starring Jason Statham. The experience of having worked in the feature film arena led TG to his first foray into directing narrative via the award-winning film Mr. Okra, which became an official selection at Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals. Herrington then shifted gears to become executive producer on the epic Civil War drama Free State of Jones, starring Matthew McConaughey. Herrington’s latest film, A Tuba to Cuba, takes Preservation Hall Jazz Band from New Orleans to the shores of Cuba in search of the roots of jazz. It made its world premiere at SXSW 2018, followed by a great theatrical run. Recently Herrington wrote and directed a series of interconnected music videos for “Come on to Me” by rock icon Paul McCartney.
