Hello, I’m Lee J Ford. An award winning commercial director and creative.
I make films that celebrate burning rubber, breaking rules and blasting monsters. I’m the founder of Six Fingers, an AI-native studio with a small group of creative odd-balls.
I have bounced between cities around the world and worked at some brilliant agencies during my career - Saatchi’s, Ogilvy, Mother, 180. My first directing gig was a baptism of ice when I shot one of BBC Top Gear’s most ambitious races across the Arctic Circle. I have now directed commercials for brands from BMW and Porsche to Nintendo and Playstation.
I believe that a great film is a great film no matter what equipment or technology was used to make it, but that making cool shit always involves sweating blood, no sleep, meticulous planning and joyous collaboration.
I made some very infamous viral films… a long time ago.
Some of my favourite work is here. Enjoy.
