As everyone’s Grandad always said 'If a thing’s worth doing it’s worth doing well.'

Dylan is one half of directing duo ‘thirtytwo’.

Thirtytwo spend a lot of their time explaining their name to disappointed creatives and clients who were expecting a better story. Honestly, save your breath. It’s not worth it.

Signed to Pulse Films, they got their start in commercials after a string of music videos led to making Pulse’s first feature documentaries, the Grammy nominated ‘No Distance left to Run’ and Sundance selected ‘Shut Up and Play the Hits’.

Over the years the duo have worked consistently and have built a body of work that combines understated realism with genuine emotion.

With nearly ten years experience directing commercials, thirtytwo’s recent work includes the multi-award winning recruitment campaign for the Department for Education ‘Every Lesson Shapes a Life”, Comic Relief’s ‘Wise Words’ starring Peter Mullan and a return to music videos after a seven year hiatus with IDLES ‘Mercedes Marxist’.

Alongside his work as part of thirtytwo, Dylan is currently working on a music based anthology show for Amazon, and his passion project; a big screen adaptation of Max Porter’s best selling book ‘Grief is the thing with Feathers’.

An idea is never finalised until it has passed through the process of craft

'Knowledge and practice of the craft is essential to the realisation of a creative idea'

Creativity is one of the most important characteristics of being human. It is one of the main traits that make us successful as individuals and as a species.
Craft is the process where the seed of a creative idea or concept is refined, nurtured and honed to the point of perfection.

During his MPC career Graham was responsible for developing the global growth strategy and creative vision for the Advertising business. Under his leadership the MPC brand was established as a global force in visual effects.

In addition to managing the London studio, Graham was responsible for the launch and development of the global studio network, which included Los Angeles, New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Bangalore and Shanghai. He was also instrumental in the concept and launch of MPC's Bangalore studio in support of the global studio network.

In 2015 MPC was acknowledged as most creatively awarded global visual effects network, this accolade was retained until his departure in 2018.

John Ogunmuyiwa is an award-winning director, photographer and creative at Havas London. His film work draws upon a constant questioning of what it means to be normal. Using daily observations as a base, he tends to bring a tinge of surrealism into his work. All with the aim of telling untold stories from a different perspective.

If you can change one person with an idea, then it could be the World when its crafted.

Juliette lives in London & runs Prettybird.

Like any famous duo would admit, one wouldn't or couldn't exist without the other. craft is the invisible hand that cares for and not only elevates an idea but is intrinsic to its very existence.

Idea and craft: One hand washes the other.

Nadja Lossgott and Nicholas Hulley are the Executive Creative Directors of AMV BBDO.

Together Nadja & Nick have created genre-bending, culture-shaping work that has won multiple Cannes Grand Prix’s and Titaniums. They’re also the proud owners of a D&AD Black Pencil and have work displayed in the permanent collections of the British Museum and the Design Museum.

They are the team behind #Bloodnormal, for Bodyform/Libresse. The global campaign broke down decades of toxic shame, made normality revolutionary and became the first ad to show period blood instead of blue liquid.

They Creative Directed The Trash Isles in partnership with LadBible and the Plastic Oceans Foundation. Rather than making an ad, they helped make a country out of the Pacific garbage patch. With so many “citizens” signing up, it quickly had a population almost the size of Iceland (with Dame Judy Dench appointing herself Queen).

From writing the influential Guinness Sapeurs film and documentary they now run the account globally, where they recently rebranded boring old tap water into a sexy new product, “Guinness Clear” for the brand’s responsible drinking initiative.

Whether they’re part of the team turning worthless Zimbabwean dollars into billboards, helping create a new country out of ocean rubbish, having a Met Police podcast reach no. 2 on the iTunes charts, writing documentaries about Congolese dandies, or defying broadcasters to help make periods normal, N&N strive to make visually striking work that has meaning, breaks the mould and has cultural impact.

Brilliant craft is often so enmeshed into the work that it is felt rather than seen. It’s so important to shine a light on this work that supports and elevates film-making.

Since training as a cinematographer at the NFTS in the UK, Nanu has shot a wide range of feature films, from art house (An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn, Old Boys, The Levelling, All Good Children), to genre (Donkey Punch, The Children), as well as numerous short films which have collected many awards from film festivals across the world (Cannes Cinefondation / BAFTA / Rhode Island). She also served as the 2nd unit Director of Photography on the Oscar winning film, Bohemian Rhapsody. Alongside her narrative work, Nanu loves shooting commercials. She finds the mix of short form and long form work endlessly rewarding. Nanu is passionate about storytelling and collaborating with directors to create the perfect visual tone for each piece of work.

Craft is so important because people put so much creativity and thought into their work that can go often go unnoticed and unsung, so it's vital to take the time to appreciate and value it!

Nathan started out Art directing music promos and over the last decade worked his way steadily into the world of commercials as well as Production design for feature films.

He has been lucky enough to work on a wide variety of exciting projects over the years and loves the research and challenges that each project brings, but perhaps most of all loves the collaboration that is involved in film making.

Nathan also likes to mix it up between the parallel worlds of features and commercials, having just wrapped on Gia Coppola's new feature in Los Angeles, he is heading straight to the underground tunnels of Kiev for a Romain Gavras commercial.

In an often-frustrating time when agency and production companies budgets are tougher than ever, we can't lose sight of the fact that underneath it all we do this because we love it and need to honour that passion by never sitting idle - always pushing our ideas and going the extra mile in bringing them to life.

Sorcha Shepherd's path to founding Caviar London began when she finally accepted that her music career would probably not take her to the dizzy heights of rockstar-dom that she so badly craved - a reality that only truly hit home at what would be her final gig, when her percussion tray kept falling apart and the one lone audience member had no teeth. It was at that exact moment she chose to stop spending money on rehearsal rooms that stank of mildew and look to the future.

Already working part time in the world of production, she refocused all the energy she previously threw into her quest for fame into trying to make a success of that instead. Following stints at HSI and Passion, Shepherd finally joined Caviar as Managing Executive Producer and found home.

Since its inception 7 years ago, Shepherd has helped build and develop the careers of some of the world's most sought after commercial and music video directors, such as Henry Scholfield and Keith Schofield. She looks after many other fantastic and sought-after directors, but no others with near identical last names. She has Executive Produced commercials and music videos that have gone onto win awards and nominations such as The British Arrows, Cannes Lions, The APA Award Show, Shots, UKMAV's, D&AD, Creative Circle & Ciclope. Most recently Caviar have been nominated for Best Production company and Best Director for Henry Scholfield at both Shots Awards and the UKMVA's

She has sat on juries for The APA Show, Shots, Cannes YDA & the UKMVA's and sits on the APA Council (as well as being part of numerous other APA groups tackling issues such as working parents, diversity and inclusivity and mental well-being within production).

She has twin boys and a French Bulldog called Augustus.

Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realise the truth...there is no spoon.
