Bang TV Directors

Jeremy grew up with film. His father owned a video shop and their house had an old 35mm projector in the basement along with a collection of rare prints of classic movies.

He showed early promise as a film maker in his teens with Alchemy, an Indiana Jones-style adventure short, filmed on his parents' driveway.

Later he earned a diploma for cinematography and post production at film school in Paris. His graduation film, The Battery, took the Grand Prize at the Festival des Trés Courts de Paris.

On his short film, Paradox, he wrote, directed and edited it as well as designing and building the sets and doing all the effects work. It has won awards in major festivals in LA, Malibu and Houston as well as being selected for several more. Paradox was the most awarded British short film of 2007.

His first spec commercial, Swatch, won him a place at the Cannes Young Directors and he has since directed spots for Coors, Disney, Heineken, Jupiler and Xbox. His campaign for Oppo Phones stars Leo DiCaprio. And his amazingly complex Subaru interactive film won a Spikes award.
He is in development on a number of feature film projects in LA while finishing his action short, Beyond. 

Laszlo is a Hungarian-born Director/DoP. After working initially as a DoP on features, he soon moved into commercials and quickly began directing. His work reflects that cinematic influence in both scale and slick imagery.

He is synonymous with beautifully shot car commercials for all the top marques including Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, Porsche and VW. Unusually though he’s not just about the shiny metal; he’s equally at home with a Russian Arm as with intimate human performances. 

Ten time Emmy Award winning filmmaker Greg Kohs, has applied his passion for emotional, human storytelling to still photography, commercials and documentaries. His trademark captured not contrived style is very current and runs effortlessly through his work.
Kohs began his career as a sports photographer where his work featured in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News. After a time at NFL Films he successfully transitioned from making Super Bowl films to making award-winning Super Bowl commercials.
His work spans Nike, MasterCard, Apple, Google, EA Sports and Disney. Greg recently released his feature film directorial debut, “Song Sung Blue”. Over ten years in the making, it has won 9 major international awards. 

Long before Bridget Jones's Diary Sharon was directing commercials and documentaries. In fact, she was just getting going when her first feature film became one of the biggest box office romantic comedies of all time. Sharon is remarkable in that she's equally well known for her beautifully crafted imagery as for her performance and comedy direction.

She has just finished filming her own adaptation of the best-selling novel INCENDIARY in London and is currently in development on several movie projects in the US and the UK.

Sharon has directed commercials for some of the UK's best agencies: AMV, BBH and DDB on major brands including Bertolli, British Telecom, Camelot, Kellogg’s, Volkswagen and Volvo.

"A film full of wit, warmth and honest knowing humour, topped off with a plethora of excellent performances", Hollywood Reporter

"Frisky fun for bruised romantics regardless of age, sex or nationality", Rolling Stone
