Jonnie Malachi Gets Ready to Rumble
Rumble has announced the signing of comedy writer and director Jonnie Malachi.
Recently Jonnie collaborated with Mark Denton on campaigns for Hotels.com and Air Wick’s V.I.Poo, co-directing and solo-directing a number of spots. His latest Hotels.com spot, ‘Phony Voice’, began airing on TV last week. He has also worked with major agencies such as J. Walter Thompson, AMV BBDO, Lucky Generals and Crispin Porter & Bogusky.
Jonnie cut his teeth as a music video director, shooting over 30 promos and racking up in excess of 40 million views. He then wrote and directed his debut feature ‘Breakdown’, which is currently screening on Sky Premiere.
Rumble’s Reza Dolatabadi says: “Signing a new director is always exciting and I’m particularly chuffed to have Jonnie join our Rumble family. It wasn’t until we worked on our first pitch when I realised just how much he can bring to the table. He takes the essence of a comedy script and adds the ‘laugh-out-loud' factor to it.”
