Jim Cole

1st assistant director (DGA)

Jim has worked in the film industry since 1998 in the AD department. Initially learning his trade on BBC dramas and feature films, he has primarily focused on a short format career since 2005.

Jim has planned, co-ordinated and delivered major campaigns around the world, ranging from Coca Cola Super Bowl adverts to many of the much-loved John Lewis TV campaigns from the last 10 years. He is also a veteran of making over 200 music videos.

There is very little logistically that Jim has not covered in his many years, from car choreography, stunts, marine and underwater work, through to fashion and dramatic performance. Whether its small reactive documentary crews, to large 200 crew film units, Jim has a reputation for helping delivery of complicated projects within tight schedule frameworks… and then he retreats and recovers back in his beloved Dorset with his wonderful family!
