Hello...

James started working with the web in ’95, a time when Netscape ruled, the Microsoft site was run by volunteers and the animated GIF was get to emerge. Since then he’s worked in the digital and interactive industry as an Art Director and Producer for a number of Marketing and Digital Agencies. In 2004 he started Pixeco, a digital design studio dedicated to providing design and digital tools to filmmakers, covering the development of interactive web tools such as community and campaign websites, widgets and social media strategy as well as key image and poster design. Pixeco is a boutique operation with a seven strong team based in Shoreditch, London and Auckland in New Zealand. Of the nearly 130 independent films Pixeco has been involved in some highlights include The End of the Line, Burma VJ, Enemies of the People, We Are Together, Erasing David, Rage and Black Gold. About 90% of it’s output is for factual projects.

As part of it's offer to filmmakers Pixeco has created Moviesparx, a set of digital tools that allow filmmakers to define, find and engage with audience and then create ways to create revenue from that audience. This really comes into it’s own for outreach campaigns and documentaries that are trying to drive change. 

James pontificates regularly about best practice in Digital Strategy, Social Media and Outreach Campaigns for filmmakers.
