Jack is an award-winning film director based in the UK. His work is largely about creating moods, emotions and fantastical scenarios, each film acting like a dream capsule, inviting the viewer into a vivid new world, story and space.
Working for over 10 years across a variety of different areas - music, advertising, documentary, TV - he's as comfortable making zero budget DIY art films as he is big budget commercial productions with a crew of 100. His work has received awards and nominations at UKMVAs, Berlin MVAs, Cannes Lions, Creative Circles, Shots and British Arrows and has been featured on platforms such as NOWNESS, Vimeo Staff Picks, 1.4, It’s Nice That, Hunger TV and Creative Review.
Some of Jack's filmic creations include… an Australian 1980s newsroom drama for The Staves, a surreal trip to the white cliff's of Dover for New Zealand artist Aldous Harding, the creation of a 90s style drag sitcom for the UK launch of RuPaul's Drag Race, a meta-satire for Young Fathers, an RPG disco fantasy for Swedish group Little Dragon and a German Expressionist meets Busby Berkley sci-fi epic for Sir Elton John.
