AJ BLEYER

Founder / executive producer

Trying to marry his passion for cars and cameras, AJ began shooting automotive videos with his high school friends. His work quickly spread to luxury dealerships, and at age 22 he left his job at Apple to pursue filmmaking full-time. He founded Advent Films in 2013, and soon found himself producing content for elite vehicle manufacturers like Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Tesla and many more.

In 2019 at age 27, he was accepted into the DGA as one of the Guild’s youngest directors. AJ’s knowledge of production quickly grew with his directing career, and today he brings over a decade of experience producing photo and video content for many of the world’s most prestigious brands and ad agencies.

When he’s not working on movies or driving cars, AJ is either working on movies or driving cars.

JEFF MCCOY

PRODUCER

Jeff started as a camera technician at Panavision. As years passed he began to amass an impressive collection of his own top-end film equipment. In 2010 he founded Industrial Digital, and with over a decade of experience and mastery of all things technical, Jeff and his top-tier equipment regularly work on everything from HBO shows to Super Bowl commercials.

After years of working together on various projects, Jeff McCoy formally joined Advent Films in 2019.

When Jeff isn’t on set, you’ll likely find him on the water- sailing up and down the California coastline.

TAYLOR STOFFERS

PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR

With an encyclopedic knowledge of all things coffee, cars and production, Taylor joined Advent in 2019. He spent his formative years in Sugar Land, Texas before moving back home to attend Chapman University in California.

With years of experience shooting everything from beverage and beauty to large automotive campaigns, Taylor proves to be a true Swiss Army Knife of production knowledge. Always at the ready with clever and creative solutions, Taylor quickly became an essential on-set member of the Advent team.

In his spare time, Taylor loves fly fishing, a quality cortado, and rooting for Lewis Hamilton.
