Press release from Gods and Monsters
Production company gods&monsters launches with the signing of Director Barney Howells by Executive Producer Nik Round. With Nik’s 20 years of production experience, and Barney’s recognition by Cannes Lions as one of the world’s hottest new directors, the collaboration promises agencies a skilled and imaginative team dedicated to the craft of making outstanding content.
Hailing from the UK, Barney (represented by Partizan for the UK and US markets) has directed for MTV, Xbox, Playstation, Nokia and VO5. A background working with some of the world’s most reputable directors including Traktor, Mehdi Norowzian and Antoine Bardou Jacquet, Barney has now forged his own successful path.
Barney says; “I’m really excited to be finally living in Australia, I’ve been watching this market for some time and love being part of a very talented creative industry that rewards pro-active people and creative solutions.”
A finalist at Cannes and Kinsale Shark Awards for the best new director, Barney’s film for Xbox was a finalist at the British Television and Advertising Craft Awards and won Creativity Online’s Platinum Award. His work has been selected as Pick of the Week in Campaign, iSpot of the week in Shoot Online, as well as being very positively reviewed in shots magazine and Contagious.
gods&monsters offers expertise in traditional and emerging media with Nik producing the first branded content documentary program for Nike Australia, and Barney directing a 13-part branded content online drama series for Ford UK.
Also from the UK, Nik Round has produced across the globe including Australia, Asia, Europe and North America. He was instrumental to the success of Exit Films where he worked for six years, and was engaged by Saatchi & Saatchi London to establish their production division for Team Saatchi. He has some incredible feats under his belt including large-scale operations for the Australian Defence Force and retail launches for Myer and Kmart.
