BEAN MORGAN | DIRECTOR
Ian Morgan, or Bean as he’s known by, is a South African-based writer and director. Ian is notorious for his off-beat and his tongue-in-cheek approach; this was recognized early on in his career, having won the South African Young Filmmakers Award, as well as the Best Critics Film Award during his studies at AFDA Cape Town. Ian has gone on to direct a plethora of TVC’s and was also a winner at Sundance London in 2018 for his short film, Good Mourning.
JUSTINE PATTERSON | DIRECTOR
This talented film lover is destined to conquer in every aspect of filmmaking. Starting out as an editor at TinToy, she managed to utilise her storytelling knowledge to enhance her directing skills. Her introduction to directing was through the short film “Mirage”, which delves into the depths of mental health. Her journey also included co-writing and co-directing a mini documentary series, “I Am Not An Object”, which explores gender-based violence and the challenges faced within the South African context. Justine has also developed a niche in documentary storytelling and branded content.
NIC EVE | DIRECTOR
Nic Eve has a unique eye to find the art in life through a lens. His global upbringing lends to his understanding of brands and the way they talk to their audiences.
