The videos he directs and manages are “Guaranteed to turn heads. Guaranteed to make people feel.”
In our interview, I created Jack's fantasy cultural year from the answers to ten easy questions. Jack chose New Zealand as his starting point. Expect some fun.

He started as an Assistant Producer at Riverhorse, where he contributed to documentary projects spanning three continents, supported by international agencies like the UN, the EU, and the UK government. His role encompassed various responsibilities, from production coordination to camera work, demonstrating his versatility and dedication to the craft.
