JAMES ALAN GEORGE BIO

I’m a director who believes foremost in the power of narrative, using it to create films with vibrant texture and melodic energy. I’ve written and directed for agencies, broadcasters, and direct-to-client – sometimes starting from a blank canvas, other times elevating concepts already in stride but needing help across the finish line.

My deep appreciation of film craft, and the dexterous play of form and technique, is rooted in my kaleidoscopic experience beyond commercial filmmaking: rehearsing the ‘Dead Parrot’ sketch backstage with Monty Python, marketing and distributing Korean arthouse auteurs, and orbiting the fine art world working on installations, performances, video and curation… This cross-pollination has broadened my own vision and ambition – a constant reminder that there are no boundaries.

I had the honour of beginning my life in film collaborating with the late Alan Dewhurst (co-founder of Passion Pictures, producer of an Academy Award-winning featurette) and forming a production company together. Now, as an independent filmmaker based in London, I relish uncovering and conjuring whatever is needed to tell a client’s singular story, touch the audience, and make the most of available resources. My approach transcends sectors and cultures and has taken me around the world for films large and small.
