Production company Filmgraphics has announced the signing of director, Jonathan Brough, to its roster of storytellers. 

The New Zealand born and Melbourne based director has over 20 years of professional experience, has had his work shown at Cannes, Edinburgh, Hof, Slamdance, Berlin Interfilm and Sydney Film festivals and screened internationally on Comedy Central, SundanceTV, BBC and Netflix.

His work on the hit ABC Comedy Rosehaven won him the Best Director of a TV Comedy awards at the Australian Director’s Guild Awards in 2018. He won the same award in 2016 for his work on Sammy J & Randy Ricketts Lane. Jonathan has also directed highly acclaimed shows Ronny Chieng: International Student (featuring Daily Show and Crazy Rich Asians star Ronny Chieng), The Family Law, It’s A Date and Spirited, and has just completed work on The End, a new series from SeeSaw Films, the makers of Top of the Lake.

Brough loves working with the world class comedic talent we have in Australia and New Zealand and keen to translate his craft to commercials.

“Jonathan understands comedy inside and out, and knows how to get pitch perfect performances from his actors,” says Anna Fawcett, Executive Producer at Filmgraphics. “He will elevate any project that comes his way by adding ideas and work shopping with creatives.” 

“I’ve been trying very hard for many years not to f*ck up television, and I’m really looking forward to the chance to not f*ck up advertising,” says Brough.
