Global director Trevor Clarence has joined L.A.-based production company JOJX for commercial representation.
Specializing in comedy, Clarence had prior affiliations with U.S. production companies Gifted Youth and Picrow. He continues to be repped in Australia, New Zealand and Asia by Sweetshop, in the U.K. by Hunky Dory, in Canada by Merchant, and in South Africa by Your Girlfriend, a production and service company which he co-owns and co-manages.
Born in South Africa, Clarence worked professionally as an international stand-up comedian and actor before establishing a career in filmmaking. At the age of 25, he directed and co-wrote Straight Outta Benoni, a highly successful South African film which was number one at the box office for three consecutive weeks.
Clarence has turned out campaigns that have aired on almost every continent, working with brands such as Amazon Prime Video, McDonald’s, Pond’s, Coca Cola, Haier, Aldi, Toyota, Virgin Mobile, Nando’s, Carlsberg, Cadbury’s, BP, VW, Heinz, Renault, Lucozade, McCain, Europcar, MTV, Fanta, Jet Air, and Total. His work has earned him numerous accolades, including being voted Young Gun of the Year in Australia.
JOJX founder Jackson Morton said, “Trevor’s a very established, sought after director, and we can see why. His understanding of comedy goes beyond directing. It’s in his nature, which is why he’s so brilliant at making the absurd absolutely sublime every time.”
Clarence said of JOJX, “I’m sure we are going to have a long relationship and make great things together.”
