Keith Rivers

Director Keith Rivers has a diverse body of work that spans such clients as Amazon, Delta Airlines, McDonald’s, Porsche, Soundcloud, and Xbox. Rivers created the instantly viral Microsoft Surface launch video, which garnered 9 million views in its first week on YouTube and won a Gold ADDY. He has written, produced, and directed several global ad campaigns, including one for Internet Explorer 9, whereby a music synchronization deal for Alex Clare led to triple-platinum record sales and a BRIT award. As a screenwriter, Rivers turned out Flight Plans-based on a true story about the Barefoot Bandit who stole and crash-landed an airplane owned by Keith’s father, Bob Rivers–which made Coverfly’s “RedList Top 20” and was shortlisted at the Austin Film Festival. Keith Rivers is also a singer-songwriter, with four completed music albums, which can be found on iTunes. 

As a filmmaker, Rivers pulls viewers into the experience, reporting from inside the mind of the climber, gamer, driver, surfer, boxer, snowboarder, poker player. He founded his own company, Workhouse Creative, in 2012 (acquired by Wild Gravity in 2018). Rivers’ passions include his involvement with the non-profit organization World Vision, to whom he has devoted time to area development projects out of Zambia, Bangladesh, The Amazon in Brazil, and Senegal. There, he has documented humanitarian missions around growing education, children, health, and culture.
