Jon’s love for film and story was ignited at a young age in unique circumstance. Night after night he would leave the warmth of his bed and sneak out to the familiar surrounds of a caravan park. The rooftop of the toilet block was his destination and once reached was the perfect vantage point for the local drive-in, which was a wonderful portal to the world of stories – the cinema. After such an auspicious beginning, formal education was never going to be Jon’s path. Television became his film school and gave him an insight into all aspects of the process, but in the end there really was only one direction to his journey. Essentially he is self-taught director who has been lucky enough to learn from those who were gracious enough to share along the journey.
