Bio & background

Zac Ella is a comedy-driven commercial director who builds performance humour inside gently heightened, meticulously designed worlds. Kippax-born and long based in the UK creative scene, he came up through graphic design and motion graphics before moving into post-production, live action and directing—an interdisciplinary path behind his “Zac of all trades” approach and innovative in-camera editing. Trade coverage frames his commercial voice around realistic-yet-offbeat character comedy, stylised production design, precise framing and performance-led absurdity. Brand work includes Verizon’s David Beckham “No One Gets You Closer,” McDonald’s, Nike, TikTok, adidas, Cadbury Creme Eggs, Macy’s, Supercell’s mo.co campaign shot on Kodak film, BetMGM’s UK launch starring Chris Rock, Mercury Energy, Lazada’s 11.11 films, the Lawn Tennis Association, Mywoosh, Morrisons, Topps, National Lottery and ITV’s “Eat Them To Defeat Them” celebrity vegetable campaign. He has directed or collaborated with talent including Chris Rock, David Beckham and Idris Elba. In February 2026 he formalized U.S. representation with JOJX after an unofficial relationship dating to 2024; he remains with Alfredo Films for Canada and was previously linked to Agile Films (UK), Soup Film (Germany) and The Sweetshop (APAC).
