Ian Pons Jewell Signs to Academy

Ian Pons Jewell has joined Academy for representation in the UK, plus key markets of France and The Netherlands.

The star director has applied his unconventional thinking to groundbreaking promos, time travelling epics and far out conceptual work. Whether working in the realms of drama or comedy, his films carry a surreal originality that is compelling to watch.

Ian has established himself as one of the new generation of pioneers in the music video format with his promos chalking up billions of Youtube hits. He has been nominated 3 times for ‘Best Director’ by the UKMVAs, and BUG named him as ‘one of the best music video directors working today’.

In 2017 he directed ‘I Love Doing Dishes’ for Finish through Wieden+Kennedy. The film won awards across the globe and properly announced him as one of the most exciting directors working in the advertising industry. Films for Nike, Dollar Shave Club, Google Pixel and Three Mobile have further cement his growing reputation, and led to selection by Televisual as one of the Top 10 Directors of 2018 and a nomination for Director of the Year at the Shots Awards.
