Joe Morgan

Director, Editor & Creative

After graduating from Central Saint Martins in the early 2000’s, I started out as an ad-agency art-director, before moving into writing, directing and editing short-form comedy & drama, music videos, docs and commercials. I’ve also worked as in-house creative director for a number of production companies and organisations.
