BACKGROUND:

After studying a BA in Film and Television, shooting and directing short films and working in Marketing and PR on films including 'TWILIGHT’ (2008),  James founded creative production company SPUN FILMS in 2009, where he produced all of the digital content for the award winning, interactive publication POST MATTER whom the New York Times praised for ‘Heralding in a new era in digital publishing’ and consequently accrued NIKE, DIOR and GUCCI as principle clients.

Spun merged with digital agency Meri Media in 2014 to form MATTER Productions where James worked in a HOP capacity until early 2017 when he became freelance in order to broaden his horizons.

James lives in Hampstead (N.W. London), in his spare time he loves nothing more than walking his beloved dog Spike (a Maltese and Mini Wire Dachshund cross) on Hampstead Heath.
