Amos David McKay - Director

Amos is a commercial and music video director based in Austin, Texas, with over a decade of experience crafting visually striking, character-driven work that leans occasionally toward humor when possible. His directing credits include national campaigns for brands like GEICO, OnStar, RAM, and McDonald’s, as well as music videos for acclaimed artists including Leon Bridges, Black Pumas, and Lukas Nelson. Known for blending humor with tension and a strong eye for composition, Amos’ work often lives in the space between the cinematic and the absurd.

 

As the founder of boutique production company Two Headed Boy, he’s built a reputation for delivering elevated creative on tight timelines, often writing, shooting, and editing his own work. Neighbor marks a return to his narrative roots—a story that draws on his suburban upbringing and his love of dark comedy.
