Jonathan King

Ex-graphic designer Jonathan King learnt about filmmaking through directing more than 100 music videos, including NZ Music Video award-winner Behold My Kool Style (made for hip hop collective Dam Native). King’s feature film debut was 2007 comedy horror success Black Sheep, about GE sheep run amok. He followed it with an adaptation of Maurice Gee children’s classic Under the Mountain, starring Sam Neill.

People like Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson were very inspiring to me ... they didn’t wait for their break, they went and made things. And now those guys, as it happens, are some of the biggest filmmakers in the world.
