With a camera in hand since childhood, Jonas Bang’s lifelong focus on aesthetics got off to the earliest of starts. Today, the young Danish director has translated his fascination with the image into a flourishing career in commercials, campaigns, fashion films and music videos, often styled with a raw and poetic touch.

Jonas’ style is markedly playful, relying on the director’s incredible eye for details, which also translates into his attentiveness in things such as his usage of editing and sound. His 2021 film for Danish fashion label Gestuz, ‘The Journey’, was nominated for a number of that year’s art direction and production design awards, including wins at both the Creative Circle and True Awards. Jonas’ first short film, “Dream Diver”, debuted at the Copenhagen Dox Film Festival and is now being shown at festivals in South Korea and Belgium.

Jonas is always looking for creative ways to convey story and mood. His most projects have included clients such as IKEA and Mercedes-Benz, as well as a string of videos for artists such as pop icon MØ and underground legends Iceage—all with this dynamic sense of story and mood therewithin.

Rather than simply documenting the superficial, Francisco Gonzalez Sendino examines subjects with an honest and ever-interested lens, going deeply into the cultural dynamics of the subjects he’s working with. The films from Francisco take us on a path where habitual and cultural norms are constantly examined, always done through a distinctive humanistic perspective. Through precision and passion, Francisco weaves sensuality through layers of emotions and storytelling. This daring style has resulted in awards such as the Young Directors Award in Cannes, the 1.4 Award in London, and the Berlin Commercial Award.

Cinematic atmosphere at its best - Romain Chassaing. His work has a pacey black humour with regular nods to the icons of cinema. Romain grew up in Montpellier and studied graphic design in both Paris and Manchester with a plan to work in the music industry. While designing, photographing and finessing album artwork, his meticulous attention to craft caught the eye of several musicians, who invited him to direct their videos. Promos for Vitalic, Vald and Dizzee Rascal combine double-dealing edgy narratives with the darkest of humour. Romain’s collaboration with the band Naïve New Beaters has created a wealth of bold conceptual videos, notably ‘Words Hurt’; the D&amp;AD Yellow Pencil winning interactive film in which the viewer can fudge their own path to riches or ruin. Romain has applied his scrupulous craftsmanship to commercial work for Schweppes, Sega, Replay, Mercedes and many more.

The Sacred Egg are a directing duo made up of London-based Ed Kaye and Lisbon-based Alex Mavor. Together, they’re known for delivering highly original concepts with an iconic visual aesthetic. It’s these traits that have led to their work being screened not only on television and in cinemas, but also in cultural institutions such as The British Film Institute and The Pompidou Centre. Working together since 2007 - firstly as creatives for London advertising agencies, then as directors with Riff Raff Films - The Sacred Egg have worked with some of the world’s best advertising agencies such as Mother, Wieden+Kennedy and Droga5, who align with their mission to make truly original and disruptive work.
Their first experiences in filmmaking came through low budget music videos. After their breakthrough video for Breach “Jack” was nominated at the 2013 UK Music Video Awards, four years later their video for Royal Blood “Lights Out” won Best Rock Video. This same year they broke into the shiny world of Commercials, directing Finish “Combinations” through W+K London, and Mailchimp “Did You Mean Mailchimp” through Droga5 New York. Mailchimp went on to win a Grand Prix at Cannes amongst other coveted awards. 2017 also saw them nominated for the Frank Budgen Award for best director at the UK British Arrows, the pinnacle of UK advertising awards.
The Sacred Egg were Second Unit Directors for the “Bohemian Rhapsody” feature film which has gone on to gross over $200m worldwide, and in the last 3 years have won 11 British Arrow Awards, 6 Creative Circle Awards including Best Cinema Campaign, Best Music Promo and Best Direction, and 3 Kinsale Shark Awards including Gold for Easy Jet’s “Imagine”. While 2020 was quiet for some, their "Burger" spot for Postmates through Mother LA was awarded a D&amp;AD Pencil in Film Craft.

Niels started his rocky road to directing in the creative metropolis of Hanover and learned everything about making movies from a 78-year-old professor and ex-documentary assistant. By 29 he had two daughters and was looking for a nice, homey place where the kids could roam about for hours on their own and have a bit of freedom. Naturally, Berlin was his first choice. Niels set out to change advertising in Germany: he was drawn first to Jung von Matt and then to Heimat, where he experienced first-hand the suffering of advertisers and knew he needed other skills to survive and make things better. So he went to the hardest comedy school of his life for 4 years - at Circus Halli Galli he learned how to shoot with drunks at the Cologne carnival, how to puke on command by Evil Jared,  and that you have to create films not for yourself but for a wide audience: because there is nothing worse than listening to 140 people remaining utterly silent throughout the show's duration. With these realizations, he ran to Dojo and applied to join the company. And that's when he realized something: people do want to laugh, and sometimes be surprised when they have to watch commercials before their actual video starts. For more than three years now, Niels has been grinding his way through the industry as a lone wolf and has now found a new home. AKKURAT. The Saga continues.

Florian Bison didn’t really get into photography until he was 25 – he lived in Malaysia at that time and was lucky to get a good deal on his first DSLR camera. After another year and a trip to South America, he realized that photography suited him better than a suit. All this in mind, he decided to chuck his plans for a business master overboard and traded that gray office desk in for a camera. These days he’s doing what he would’ve been doing a lot earlier if he got this camera when he was seven. He snaps photos and makes films.

Keane Pearce Shaw is a football-mad, self-taught filmmaker from England. Raised on the mean streets of Clifton, Nottingham, Keane moved to London armed with an education in Music Business &amp; Entertainment Management, with which he used to answer phones and add gig details to artists’ calendars.

When he started producing MTV live shows, he realised his passion for directing - football content in particular, to no one’s surprise - after having the opportunity to direct a film with Manchester United and Adidas in 2016. Since then, Keane has gone on to direct global campaigns for FIFA, Adidas, Nike, and Puma, and asked sporting royalty including Lionel Messi, Ronaldo, and Beckham to stand in front of the camera. Along the way, Keane has crafted a directing style that can be described as thoughtful, raw, and perhaps even a zeitgeist for modern British street style.
