James Jones is an award-winning British director who makes documentary films for international television and theatrical release. He has just finished a feature documentary, Antidote, at Passion Pictures and is now starting a new film for HBO. He is represented by WME.

His documentaries tell extraordinary human stories from all over the world. The films combine journalistic rigour with a distinctive cinematic sensibility. They have screened at some of the world’s leading film festivals and played on Netflix, Apple TV, HBO, PBS, Sky, Channel 4, and the BBC.

His film on the drug war in the Philippines – On The President’s Orders - for Frontline PBS, ARTE France, BBC Storyville and Bertha Doc Society, was described by Variety as "a wholly cinematic, sensory experience".

James has a long-standing interest in Russia and speaks fluent Russian. His BAFTA-winning film Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes, described as “tense, chilling... powerful" by the New York Times and “mind-blowing” by the Times, is streaming on HBO Max.
