Australians love cars and director Jolyon Watkins is no exception. The son of a car dealer, Jolyon grew up with a love of movies and motorsport.
After watching the original MAD MAX as a child – his die was cast. Twenty years later, on the very same Aussie roads, Jolyon recreated the movie’s iconic car chase sequences; as the director of the European Number 1 smash hit music video Puretone ‘Addicted To Bass’.
Car advertising soon beckoned, from MTV to BMW.
On-road, off-road, from the race track to the studio and CG render-farms there’s barely a technique or brand Jolyon hasn’t worked with.
More than just his eye for automotive beauty, as a graduate from the pre-eminent Victorian College of the Arts he is equally as comfortable with storytelling and directing actors.
It’s this diversity as a director that has seen him work on a long list of international clients including Porsche, Audi, BMW, Toyota, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Ford, Hyundai, MarutiSuzuki, Honda, Holden and Jeep.
Jolyon is based in Melbourne and Sydney Australia and is available internationally
