Jonathan Pearson

Jonathan brings craft and drama, which carry poignant messages

Jonathan’s directing journey began at film school in the U.S. After working in various roles across the TV industry he began experimenting with music videos and shorts, having his films screened around the world and winning various awards along the way.

Moving into commercials, his work has gone on to win him an award for ‘Best New Director’ at the Midsummers and has featured in the Cannes Young Directors showcase. 2013 marked Jonathan’s entry into television drama with Channel 4’s ‘Run’, a critically acclaimed show he created and shot a self-funded pilot for.

Jonathan has been recognised for his work for The Pilion Trust campaign “Fuck The Poor”. The shocking stunt shows the difficulties charities have when it comes to getting people to donate – people care, but just not enough. “Fuck The Poor” has been featured across major media platforms, and just recently won three Silver and one Bronze Cannes Lions awards.
