Director Biography - Jonny Mowat

Jonny Mowat is a writer and director based in Glasgow, Scotland. His films combine his bold aesthetic style with a passion for narratives that dig into the dark to find glimmers of light, using humour to lead the way.

His latest comedy short Behold, This Dreamer Cometh, currently in post-production, follows a young man at church camp who dreams of his deceased dad, and is “surprisingly funny”. Prior to that, he made the short documentary No A Basher, following an ageing Glaswegian mountaineer who can no longer climb the hills he loves, as well as the comedy drama short The Organist, about the impact of a replacement organist at a funeral. He has also worked on numerous music videos and commercial works in visual art and design, for clients such as Bottle Rockets, Glasgow Film Festival, and BBC Scotland.
