An astute observer and storyteller, Nick’s films are brimming with warmth and personality. His gentle camera style and carefully-judged performances infuse all his work with a natural and sensitive authenticity.
Commercials or long form, his work always connects on a deeply human level. It’s nuanced and engaging, and beautifully balanced.

Whether in his ‘Isolated Trees’ film - shot with his own family in Lockdown - or in his latest short ‘If Not Now, When?', Nick’s films exhibit a true optimism, but one that never pastes over the cracks. It’s rare to see such honesty in commercials, and brands like P&O, ASDA and The Sun have been smart enough to realise too.

As well as a filmmaker, Nick is an accomplished musician, singer & writer. A truly present director who we are very excited to welcome HERE.

Award-winning filmmaker, searching story-teller, and self-confessed travel addict, Marko is a director with a genuinely global outlook. His work effortlessly blends cinematic beauty with authentic portraiture.

With commissions for the likes of Mercedes, Amazon National Geographic already under his belt, Marko is making a strong name for himself as a unique observer of people & places. A restless explorer of culture and humanity, this enquiring spirit has earned multiple awards, including Gold at Clio and Ciclope, Silver at The New York Festivals and a shortlisting at the Cannes YDA for his powerful film ‘KHEROU’.

Stuart’s signature style lies in his attention to detail. Powerful visuals, careful framing and atmospheric lighting give an almost abstract cinematic beauty to his work. Which when coupled with the often conceptually-driven themes in his films, make for a powerful and memorable impact.

His personal work is characterised by a desire to question the state of humanity, to examine what we mean by ‘progress’. Whether it’s in his multi-award winning short ‘LOOP’, a stirring exploration of humankind’s perverse desire to imbue AI with emotive thought, or his arresting glance at the modern world’s obsession with our mobiles and the resultant loneliness in ’The Space Between Us’. Perhaps most striking of all is the positivity such themes can inspire, as seen in his future manifesto short ‘We Shall Not Return’, nominated at Berlin and IFF and featured on SHOTS.

The Lennon mantra ‘Wherever you are, you are here’ has been in Alex’s blood since childhood. With Irish, French-Canadian, Polish & Brazilian heritage, and an itinerant family upbringing, his work reflects a truly global perspective on life. From his infectious NOWNESS films featuring the dance cultures of South African townships and Brazilian favelas to his acclaimed short film about a unique Scottish road trip for under-privileged bikers from London. ’This is Freedom Road’ was developed with adam&eve DDB, garnered 5 stars on David Reviews and has so far been featured on SHOTS, Directors Library and Dazed. Alex’s films share a common theme of unexpected juxtapositions of people and places. A desire to shine a light on unseen sub-cultures. To explore the humanity and communal bonds in different walks of life. Whether documenting surfers in Senegal, or celebrating cold-water swimming for Havas’s Covent Garden Soups commercial. A filmmaker truly in the here & now.

Joffrey’s work defies categorisation. It’s high concept, heavily art directed and playful at the same time.

A Berlin-based fashion & lifestyle director, whose work has picked up numerous awards at fashion film festivals. Notably for his extraordinary STRELLSON ad (Berlin Fashion Film Festival and his H&M spot (1.4).

Bold, colourful and vibrant, his work is also full of playful choreography and casting, and he has made numerous music videos over the years too.

Jonas’s style of comedy is an infectious cultural mash-up. His Canadian-Ozzie-Eastender roots infuse his films with a distinctly off-kilter flavour, as warped as his accent. Often irreverent, never irrelevant, his comic references are more revelatory than a Revels-filled lavatory.

Suffice to say Jonas is a seriously funny guy. And if you need convincing, just watch him pitching with his pants down in ‘I’ll be your hero’. Jonas’s penchant for the absurd is underpinned by witty dialogue, quirky casting, and really rather impressive visual effects (often crafted by Jonas himself). If you find awkward pleasure in dolphin body odour and malicious macaws, then look no further.

Joshua Vii is a graduate from the prestigious Chelsea College of Art and Design in graphic design. His debut film, a music video for Gem Club, thrust Vii into the spotlight and bagged the Apple Store’s Bright Young Brits Award.

Coming from a design background, he has a slick, technically clever & precise style that has seen him direct stand-out pieces for Gucci, Dunhill, Esprit, Diesel & House of Fraser. His visually experimental work has been featured on NOWNESS, 1.4 and SHOTS, most notably the serenely beautiful Olafur Arnalds video, a stunningly choreographed night-time dance routine hypnotically filmed in a drone-lit forest. Joshua recently shot the last commercial with Rafa Nadal before his retirement, a meditative ode to movement for Kia.
