DIRECTOR

JAMIE JONES’s first feature film ‘Obey’ was selected for the international narrative competition at Tribeca Film Festival 2018. It tells the story of the misadventures of a 19-year-old man, somewhat adrift and living with his alcoholic mother in a rough environment, until a romantic encounter with a beautiful hedonistic girl opens the doors to an unsuspected universe. But his naivety does little to prepare him when those doors suddenly bang shut. Obey will be appearing in more international film festivals throughout 2018.
Jamie has many more feature films in development. He has also made many documentaries and short films, most notably, ‘The Nest’, starring Vicky McClure, which was selected for Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival 2017 and Tampere film festival 2017. It was selected for another 12 international film festivals picking up the Woman In Film award at Liverpool.
Jamie started making films in 2000. He was drawn to complex stories that were happening in and around his hometown of Swansea, UK to do with violence and poverty. Straight out of college his documentary ‘Fighters’ was commissioned by the BBC. It follows a group of amateur boxers who were training for the British Boys championships.
