JOE MCGOWAN

CREATIVE | COMEDY | FILMMAKER

HeY there!

I'm an award-winning Director and Editor based in London, with over 10 years of experience working in video production for both online and broadcast. My approach to how I can assist with a project comes down to three key areas: CREATIVE, COMEDY, and FILMMAKING.

Every project starts with an idea, and helping clients turn their ideas into CREATIVE and tangible visions is something I take great pride in doing well. Writing treatments, scripts, storyboards, and packaging them up into pitch decks to sell my creative vision is a process I excel at. 

 

COMEDY is my greatest passion. I've always had a soft spot for the funny, silly, and endearing. I have written and directed award-winning comedy short films, directed comedy-based online commercials, and branded content, but ultimately I enjoy making people laugh. Combining my love for comedy and my creative know-how for filmmaking comes naturally.

 

When it comes to FILMMAKING I've worn many hats throughout my career. From being a director, editor, writer, and camera operator, I've been attached to TV commercials, branded content, documentaries, charity films, corporate videos, and many more. I've enjoyed working with large and small production crews to produce stunning, thought-provoking and engaging films.

These three pillars are what I offer to my clients either as a collective package, separately or as a combination, so pick and choose what you need from me. Who doesn't love a pick and mix? 

My work has won awards at film festivals, Drum Marketing Awards, been featured at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and been shortlisted for an exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. 

I enjoy swimming, a good long stroll and if I didn't work in video production I would probably be working in the video game industry. Cats are cool too.

CREATIVE

Conceptualizing and envisioning creative ideas for projects into treatments and pitch decks. Branded content, TV commercials, charity films, and much more.  

COMEDY

My love for comedy runs very deep. From working on comedy branded content to directing award winning comedy films, making people laugh is the most creatively fulfilling thing for me. 

FILMMAKING

Directing shoots and working with large and small crews to bring every project to life. Having a ‘shoot to edit’ approach to filmmaking allows me to expertly craft the film's narrative myself in editing.
