James Chappell is a young director specializing in music videos, short films and TV commercials, having trained under Director Stephan Elliott (Priscilla Queen of The Desert) on the 2011 smash-hit comedy 'A Few Best Men'.
His directing style is dynamic and diverse, invoked by the wonder and terror he felt as a kid watching 80's and 90's genre movies. With each project he aims for high-concept ideas and original narratives maximizing visual impact from a range of budgets.
His short film 'The Keeper' was Vimeo Staff Picked and also screened at the Tyrolean Independent Film Festival in Austria in 2014.
After directing music videos for Sony Music Australia,
he has just finished directing the TVC campaign for 'Hello Sunday Morning' and a new music video for international artists 'The Bloody Beetroots' which was also Vimeo Staff Picked.
James is currently writing a new short film and developing a feature film.
