His work mingles a dark sense of humour and layered styling that captivates and delights in equal measure.
In 2014 James Fitzgerald graduated from The National Film school of Ireland with a major in drama directing and a minor in cinematography. In 2021, his short film, The Invisible Boy, was long listed for an Oscar, along with an IFTA nomination and a Young Director Awards shortlist at Cannes.
He has directed commercials for agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy, JWT, and Publicis. He’s also directed music videos for record labels like Sony, Universal and Warner Brothers.
Principal photography has just wrapped on his final short film, Bad Boy Buck, which was funded by Screen Ireland. It’s due to be complete in spring 2022.
“I only had to watch James’ commercials for Tony Card to know he was the right man for me. There is a lightness and freshness to his work, alongside a keen eye for detail, that we admire over here. His latest spot for Subway is also a good example. We look forward to working together." said Cabell Hopkins.
