London based film director and photographer James Morgan joins Park Village’s Film and Stills roster for representation in Europe. Morgan’s multi format and award winning work for platforms such as Netflix, Apple and the BBC showcase his versatile talent for capturing stunning documentaries, powerful performances in drama and strong yet beautiful messaging for brands. His deep affinity with the planet and skill at telling cultural stories comes from a decade of travelling to over 50 countries for his photography and film work, which has gone on to be exhibited, printed, broadcast and help contribute to debates and policy change on environmental and indigenous rights issues. Morgan’s work perfectly compliments Park Village's desire to create impactful work that both makes positive change and entertains.
James Morgan said: ‘I’m very excited to be working with the team at Park Village. I've always enjoyed the pace and creative energy of commercials and look forward to shooting more alongside my film and television work.'
EP Adam Booth adds: 'James is a true visual polymath, not only has he won awards for his broadcast documentary work, but he’s also insanely talented when it comes to directing actors for performance, and equally talented in shooting stills projects, and directing stand out commercial campaigns. I can’t wait to see what else he’s got up his sleeve!'
