Promonews - 13th Sept 2023
Stink Films has announced that multi-talented actor and director George Jaques has joined the directors' roster at Stink Rising for commercial and music video representation.
Having risen to fame as an actor - Jaques starred alongside Jude Law in HBO’s The Third Day: Autumn; played Francis II in Lionsgate’s series The Serpent Queen, and the lead in Sky’s A Town Called Malice - his debut feature film as a director, Black Dog, is set to premiere at the BFI London Film Festival in October, and is nominated for the Best First Feature award.
We’re so excited to welcome him aboard.
Jaques was also recently named Screen International’s Star of Tomorrow and has directed a number of short films supported by Sony, Sky and Warner Brothers as well as staging several sell-out theatre shows. He will now be represented by Stink for music videos and commercials exclusively worldwide whilst United Agents represents him for acting, film, TV, theatre and voiceover work.
“I am so excited to be represented by Stink for commercials and music videos," says Jaques. "The calibre of talent on their roster is mind-blowing and I’ve always admired the team. My hope is that I can bring my sensibilities as a performance-driven director and connections from the world of Film and TV to make great commercial work together.”
Blake Powell, Global Head of Film at Stink, adds: “George and I met a few years back when he was still getting his TV and film work off the ground and, even then, it was clear that he is unstoppable. When someone is that charismatic, driven, and talented it’s hard not to sign them. We’re so excited to welcome him aboard.”
