Great Guns Signs Director Finn McGough
Great Guns has signed commercial, documentary and drama director Finn McGough for representation in the U.S., Middle East and Asia.
McGoughโs commercial portfolio features a wide array of brands spanning Volkswagen, Marks & Spencer, McDonaldโs, E45, Shredded Wheat, Lloyds, Budweiser, and more. His appreciation for human stories shines throughout--for McCain, he crafted a heartfelt celebration of all types of diverse families; for Nokia, he followed a day in the life of the oldest active hockey player; for Cancer Research UK, he uncovered the way children are influenced by cigarette packaging, earning a Bronze Arrow and Silver Clio. In addition to further British Arrows accolades, McGough has also won a D&AD Pencil and two APA Top 50 accreditations.
As a documentary director, McGough has traveled across continents, making Lonely Planet guides in Kenya and Italy, and even being blindfolded and dropped in Azerbaijan for Channel 4โs Lost adventure series. His subsequent observational BBC films, The Professional Charmer and Summer With The Johnsons, picked up a PRIX EUROPA for Best Non-Fiction Film and a Royal Television Society Breakthrough Talent nomination.
In the drama realm, McGough was nominated for Best Film and Best Cinematography at the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival for his short Flak, based on a story by Alan Sillitoe.
McGough said of Great Guns, โTheir reputation as a global producer of fine and varying work says it all, so Iโm looking forward to exciting times ahead (and to finally having a drink at their London pub--bonus!)โ
Michel Waxman, managing executive producer at Great Guns in the U.S., added, โFinnโs passion for incredibly relatable storytelling... Read More
