Director Zac Ella has signed with production company JOJX for representation in the U.S. He is no stranger to the shop, having unofficially been repped by JOJX starting back in 2024 when it entered into a partnership with London-based Agile Films to handle several of its directors stateside, including Ella. But JOJX and Agile have since mutually parted ways and Ella is no longer with the U.K. production company. The director wanted to continue his relationship with JOJX and is now formally on board the company roster.
Ella is a comedy-driven, craft-obsessed filmmaker known for his inventive approach and seamless integration of humor and performance across formats, creating worlds that are both realistic and offbeat. His body of work spans commercials, music videos and experiential content. Ella brings a distinctively creative and versatile voice to projects with his “Zac of all trades approach” and innovative in-camera editing. He started in graphic design and motion graphics before expanding into postproduction, live action, and directing.
Ella and JOJX have enjoyed a productive creative relationship, collaborating on projects such as the craft-first campaign for Supercell’s latest IP, mo.co. These experiences built a natural rapport and shared understanding of each other’s vision, paving the way for a formal partnership.
Having worked with brands like Verizon, McDonald’s, Nike, TikTok and adidas, Ella has proven his ability to balance performance, comedy, and character-driven work. He has also collaborated with high-profile talents such as David Beckham, Chris Rock and Idris Elba, and has already worked in the U.S., securing repeat work and maintaining relationships with varied agencies.
“I love building funny worlds with funny people–Worlds that feel recognizable, but just gently heightened into the silly,” said Ella. “For me, the best ideas come from collaboration. Trusting the room. Understanding the audience. Shaping performances that feel truthful and grounded, then elevating them through craft in ways that feel unexpected but precise. I’m drawn to work that feels cinematic yet playful, carefully built but never heavy. JOJX feels like a team that shares that sensibility. I’m excited about what we can create together.””
“Zac brings an extraordinary energy to every project,” said Jackson Morton, JOJX founder. “His ability to work with talent, push creative boundaries, and deliver work that’s conceptually strong and visually precise aligns perfectly with the type of directors we champion at JOJX.”
