The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. See the
New York Daily [1] for details. (Their spelling mistake is quoted as written)
"Jhoan Camitz could walk the city's streets without drawing a glance, but the Swedish director's free-spirited and often daring commercials for Volkswagen, Diesel and Nike were watched around the world.Described by friends and colleagues as kind and talented, Camitz, 38, was struck and killed by a Range Rover early yesterday in the aftermath of a shootout outside the trendy SoHo Club NV.
News of Camitz's brutal, random death stunned his colleagues at the New York and Los Angeles offices of Propaganda/Satellite Films, where he worked.
...
Born and raised in Stockholm, Camitz studied law and worked for several years as a sculptor. He stumbled into the world of commercial directing seven years ago after making a wedding video for a friend.
The wedding party included an executive from a Swedish advertising agency who liked the amateur footage so much that he gave Camitz the next campaign for Diesel, a clothing company."
