John and I shot 12 epsiodes of Hell on the Highway together for Channel 5. Loved working with John! He is razor sharp on editorial, relentless on detail and always had our contributors at ease.
I have worked with John many times as an editor and he always brought his A game - diligent, hardworking and with a keen eye for detail. He always approached projects with a calm and collected manner and was able to think his way out of problems where others may not. John is a true creative and I'm excited to see him further develop as a director and bring both his technical skills and personal demeanour into his jobs.
My name is Steven Burns, and I am the co-founder and Creative Director of SpecialGun Productions. Our portfolio includes work for the BBC on its Top Gear spin-off, Hilton for its Instagram campaigns, Disney for its Star Wars concert series, and Capcom on the Resident Evil series.
During some of these campaigns John has been an integral part of our work. He is a talented producer, capable of balancing the demands of his role no matter the production, and is a brillant director who gets the best out of the material as well as those around him. I have no hesitation recommending him for anything you may need.
Best,
Steve.
