JOHN CLEESETo launch John Cleese's first-ever talk show on GB News, I was responsible for directing and delivering key elements of the campaign's promotional material: a feature-length look at the making of the show, the main series promo, press photography, radio adverts and stills elements for the poster. Working closely with Cleese, I shot & edited many deliverables myself using a combination of hybrid cameras (Sony FX6, Sony A7SIII, Fujifilm X-H2S & X-T5). The campaign was widely covered in mainstream media with mention of my work in the Times and METRO.
