Born and brought up in Glasgow Guy went south to study film, ending up at Bristol University for an MA where he directed the Royal Television Society award-winning drama “Flood”.
Since then Guy has done his best to spread his wings and work across as many genres as possible. He has worked in TV here and abroad, shot music videos, documentaries, more award-winning shorts and worked in the creative department for Al Jazeera English in the Middle East. Most recently he co-directed ‘Looking for the Lone Star’, a feature documentary on the slam poetry scene in the USA.
During all this, Guy entered the world of advertising. Starting out writing and directing virals with a friend, they were quickly picked up for representation by an international production company. So far he has directed commercials for brands such as Cadbury’s, Pimm’s, MTV, SEGA and others for worldwide broadcast. They have been featured in Creative Review and nominated for awards in Cannes and the One Awards in New York.
Guy lives in London and is presently working on a number of drama projects including an adaptation from the award-winning book of short stories “Notes from a Turkish whorehouse” by Phillip O Ceallaigh.
