James is a multidisciplinary, BAFTA-winning filmmaker. After graduating with a Masters Degree in Editing from the prestigious National Film and Television School in 2010, he began to explore film creation from the ground up. In 2011 he conceptualised, pitched and directed a short film for Nokia called Splitscreen: A Love Story. It became an internet hit and was named one of the best online films of that year by Time Magazine. Soon after, he was selected for the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase in Cannes. Since then, he has been refining and perfecting his skills to craft quality film projects. This has led to industry recognition including a D&AD Award for his work with Stella Artois (The Real Hawk Eye) and a British Academy Award for his work with Bombay Sapphire (Room 8). He specialises in creating visually stunning narrative concepts which he instils with emotion and executes with verve.
