JACK HOWARD
director and reluctant writer
Who the hell does Jack Howard think he is?
Hiya, I'm Jack.
I'm a filmmaker, originally from Nottingham, now based in London.
​
I've been creating my own films since I was 16, starting out with comedy duo Jack & Dean on YouTube, garnering over 75 million views. The highlight was the production of two seasons of 'Jack & Dean of All Trades', co-starring BAFTA winner Jessica Hynes.
​
My short film 'The Second Time Around' starring Caroline Goodall and Hannah Onslow is currently on the festival circuit. An Iris Prize finalist, the film is set to broadcast on Film4 in October, and stream on Channel4 VOD for the year after.

I've wrote and directed for CBBC and Comedy Central.
