Award winning Director & Producer  Justin Eade began his media career working for MTV Europe in London.

He directed one minute image films, working closely with MTV’s On Air branding department and the launch of VH-1 Europe. In 1993 he helped set up the archives for animator John Halas -  Halas & Batchelor

(Orwell’s - Animal Farm, amongst others) and Justin continues to work with Animation to this day.


A logical progression into music video directing took Justin around the globe as an independent film-maker.

In 1994 he travelled across the US filming a unique touring Electronic Music event. This was also Justin’s earliest move into documentary film making. His first ever video interview was with the legendary  Ken Kesey


In 1996 Justin developed his own brand of musical films, creating Live Event video projections, whilst based in

Sydney Australia. He later worked closely with  The Big Chill developing Audio Visual aspects of the company.

This took him and his films to Egypt, Chile and across Europe with The British Council. Justin then co-produced

television programmes for Channel 4 and ITV within the Music Video - Audiovisual vein. These films were later

released internationally as DVD Music Albums, a medium he helped pioneer during the late 90’s.


In 2000 Justin brought his own style of film production to the BBC in London where he devoted his

time to the BBC promotional and branding departments. This included development of several high profile

campaigns for many of the BBC’s television channels and later for the launch of a new channel - UK Food

(Justin’s own Father had been a successful food marketeer & founder of ‘Dobbins Bistro’ in Dublin)


In 2008 Justin moved to Scotland and worked on the launch of the new Gaelic Digital Channel -  BBC ALBA

Now based in Glasgow, developing documentary and other film projects, Justin continues to direct

promotional films, advertising and shares his experience with TV & Film Production students as a visiting lecturer.
