VIEWER EXPERIENCE

DIRECTOR

jono hall
Jono Hall started his professional career as an erstwhile small-town radio DJ, drummer for a quasi-famous rock band, magazine editor, pop-up restauranteur and taxidermist. Although these were not all widely-appreciated or even understood decisions at the time, this twisting life-path has given him a deep well of excellent dinner-party conversation.
He subsequently made his name as a commercials director, known for a deep appetite and talent for rich visual storytelling and performance direction, giving rise to an awarded career of diversity and depth.
He still receives occasional enquiries as to whether he could taxidermy the odd beloved pet, but he prefers to leave past glories where they belong.
