ABOUT ME
Mitch Jenkins is an internationally acclaimed photographer and director whose passion for storytelling fuels a career of striking visuals and bold cinema. From his early days as a junior photographer at a local paper, Jenkins honed a narrative-rich style that’s taken him far beyond his beginnings. His photography includes celebrity portraits for The Times and Sunday Times Magazines and key art for Netflix, Amazon, BBC, Sky, AMC, and A&E—where he also shaped rebrands for A&E and BSkyB. Alongside these commercial triumphs, Jenkins pursues personal photographic projects, crafting intimate, evocative series that explore the same bold themes as his films. But it’s his ceaseless creative drive that defines him, whether he’s behind the camera or dreaming up new worlds.
Jenkins’ directing career kicked off with "Act of Faith" (2012), sparking a dynamic collaboration with graphic novelist Alan Moore. Together, they crafted "Show Pieces" (2014), a festival favourite at FrightFest, Sitges, and Leeds International Film Festival, and the feature film "The Show" (2020), premiering at SXSW. Their earlier "Unearthing" (2013), a coffee table book five years in the making, blends Moore’s prose with Jenkins’ evocative imagery and highlights their inventive partnership. More than just a book, "Unearthing" became a multimedia triumph—a live performance at the Old Vic Tunnels in 2010, lauded as a haunting fusion of spoken word and visuals, and a vinyl release on Lex Records, cementing its status as a cult artifact. His latest film, starring Ellie Bamber and Rupert Pendry Jones, is slated for a 2025 release and festival run, promising to further showcase his distinctive storytelling. For Jenkins, creating is a constant—writing screenplays, collaborating with visionaries like Moore, or diving into personal projects that ignite his imagination.
His recent sci-fi thriller "A Million Days" (2024), starring Hermione Corfield, is just one facet of his ever-expanding vision. Current personal projects include a punk rock road movie, a Noir thriller set in India with its shadowy intrigue, and a WW2 Lovecraftian horror weaving cosmic dread into history—each echoed in his personal photographic work, where he captures raw, unfiltered slices of these worlds. Each endeavour, from film to photography, reflects his love for immersive tales. Jenkins’ career—marked by festival acclaim and an unyielding need to explore—thrives on this passion. Always pushing forward, he channels his craft into fresh collaborations and stories as dynamic as the worlds he builds.
