HELLO

LEE J FORD  / /  WRITER  /  DIRECTOR  /  FILMMAKER  

I'VE WORKED IN THE ADVERTISING INDUSTRY SINCE GRADUATING FROM CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, FIRST AS A PHOTOGRAPHER'S ASSISTANT AND THEN BY GIANT FLUKE AN ART DIRECTOR AT SOME OF THE BEST AD AGENCIES AROUND THE WORLD. I MADE THE BREAK INTO DIRECTING AFTER RETURNING TO LONDON FROM AMSTERDAM, MY FIRST GIG WAS A TRUE BAPTISM OF ICE WHEN I WAS HIRED TO SHOOT ONE OF BBC TOP GEAR'S MOST AMBITIOUS CROSS-CONTINENT RACES TO DATE IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. I HAVE SINCE DIRECTED CAMPAIGNS FOR BRANDS FROM AUDI AND ADIDAS TO NINTENDO AND NISSAN. I'M CURRENTLY DEVELOPING MY FIRST MOVIE, AN ECO-CREATURE-FEATURE SET ON THE SOUTH COAST OF ENGLAND WHERE I GREW UP. LET'S MAKE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES TOGETHER.
