He then contributed to Halo 3’s “Believe”, a spot that made it to Boards Magazine’s ‘Top 10 Spots of the Decade’. This was followed by his work for Monster.com’s “Legs” in 2008, which again garnered him a nomination at the DGA Awards. During this time, the talented director also worked on Travelers’ “Delivery”.

In 2009, Sanders directed “Lift” for Puma and “The Spark” for Adidas. That year, he also earned an AICP award for “Field Generals” which he directed for Jordan Brand. The following year, his collaboration with Xbox for Halo 3’s “The Life” won various awards at the Cannes Advertising Film Festival, including the Gold for Cinematography. The epic advertisement also took home four Clios and four AICPs, among many others. Also, at Cannes that year, the director received a bronze in the category of editing for “Slap” that he made for Nike.

His projects for 2011 included ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops,’ which was later cited as one of the most brilliant works by MJZ for the year.
