Today on FIA, Justin sits down with film director Russell Owen to discuss his career from commercials to feature films, and the path that led to his acclaimed psychological horror Shepherd, a New York Times Critic's Pick and BBC critic Mark Kermode's Film of the Week.
Russell shares the unconventional route that shaped his career, from making an experimental first feature and directing a zombie film to breaking into advertising and ultimately bringing a long-held passion project to life. He also explains how his feature work unexpectedly opened the door to commercial directing, leading to hundreds of campaigns for global brands including American Express and Armani
The conversation also explores Russell's role as co-founder of Kindred Pictures, a London-based production company producing both commercial and narrative work around the world. Along the way, he discusses his passion of storytelling, the creative influences that have shaped his filmmaking, and how folklore, myths, and legends continue to inspire his writing.
Russell is a true Filmmaker in Advertising, and one to keep an eye out for!
