Film Construction signs New Zealand directors Michael Humphrey and Hugh Mitton

In it’s commitment to nurture promising new talent, Film Construction has signed two bright young directors Hugh Mitton (left) and Michael Humphrey.

Mitton is a young New Zealand director who stepped out of university and fell straight into the lap of advertising; a bright, hopeful creative learning under some of the industry’s finest and wisest. Any attempts to dampen his enthusiasm were blown after he was unable to stop winning international spec contests and going on fancy trips to festivals. Like his trip they paid him to go on to Cannes 2012 for his winning Coca Cola Brand spot which he created all himself from idea to delivery.

Humphrey (left) was born in England but grew up in New Zealand. His work includes commercials, short film, fashion films and music videos.

He studied at the University of Auckland, gaining a Master of Arts in film, but learnt most of his craft working as director’s assistant with talented commercial and feature film directors in Auckland and London. His work with performance and strong photographic influences show he has a knack for content and the odd fashion film. With a great tone in performance  and a strong visual aesthetic he also has a great understanding of how the advertising game works and how to make good work in the process.
