JACK HOWARD

Who the hell does Jack Howard think he is?

Hiya, I'm Jack. I'm a passionate, dynamic and collaborative filmmaker - originally from Nottingham, now based in London. I have a love for crafting cinematic visuals and a skill for eliciting authentic performances from actors. 

​

I've been creating my own short films since I was 16. I began as part of comedy duo Jack & Dean on YouTube, a venture that garnered over 73 million views. The highlight of this collaboration was the production of two seasons of 'Jack & Dean of All Trades', co-starring BAFTA winner Jessica Hynes, and earning acclaim with a 'Best Series' award. In 2018, I was selected to participate in the esteemed Sundance New Voices Lab for a script which was later optioned and developed by Merman Productions.

​

In 2024 I directed 'The Beko Inheritance' for Beko, which won a Cannes Lion.

​

In 2023, I directed across 5 episodes of series 3 of Andy & The Band for CBBC.

​

In 2022, I directed 'The Pick Up', a commercial short film for Three Mobile which won a Kinsale Shark for Best Comedy Direction, Best Commercial Short at the British Short Film Awards, and was selected as one of the six best creative commercials by onepointfour. 

​

In 2021, I directed 'East Mode' for Comedy Central. My short film 'Emotional Baggage' was a finalist at the LOCO film festival. The visual album 'Build A Problem' that I directed for dodie won the Audience Award at the British Short Film Awards. 

​

In the commercial world, I have directed work for prominent brands such as Dominos, Three Mobile, Campari, Cineworld, Hula Hoops, Jim Beam, and Sky. In 2021, I directed the TV ad for ZenAuto starring Matt King (only bloody SuperHans). 

​

I've also made my mark in the music industry, directing music videos for artists including Maisie Peters, dodie, Orla Gartland, and James Blunt.

​

I like making stuff. Shall we make some stuff?
