LOUIS-JACK
Louis-Jack is a Film London Lodestar, championing him as a shining light in the future of UK film. His work spans drama, music videos, artist moving image, dance on film and commercials. He has been commissioned by the BFI, Mind, The Royal Opera House, LVMH Group and Arts Council England. His films have premiered on prestigious online platforms (NOWNESS, Booooom TV, Directors Notes); screened in cinemas and museums worldwide (ICA, National Art Centre of Tokyo); received national TV and radio coverage (BBC News, Radio London); and won awards at major film festivals (London Short Film Festival, Aesthetica). He has worked with exceptional talent from actors Paul Kaye and Clive Russell to dancers Francesca Hayward and Marcelino Sambé. His films are known for their dreamlike quality whilst also dealing with the complex psychology of performance and the realities of mental health struggles. His work – so often focused on dance, sport and craft – uses physical movement as a way of expressing feelings beyond words. To escape his own reality, Louis-Jack spends his time away from filmmaking in the mountains rock climbing and skiing.
