Haven't had a proper job since 2012. Working/Playing in TV and film since. Lover of spaghetti, dogs and mischief. Malcolm Tucker enthusiast. My views.

And sharing those moments with my family was amazing, especially when Nolan recognised the music from the games he’s played, and those he’s experienced vicariously through me.

Unforgettable.

Just back home from PlayStation The Concert with the family, and let me tell you - wow!

Hearing the music from games I’ve lived and breathed over the years - played live by an orchestra - was incredible. These aren’t just soundtracks, they’re memories.

🚨 Woop-woop, that’s the sound of da police! 🚨

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 finally airs tonight, a show I first started working on back in the summer of 2023.

It’s an enthralling look at the extraordinary work of British police officers, who moved across the world to serve in Australia. We followed seven officers as they relocate to Western Australia, the largest and most remote police district in the world.

I cannot stress enough how important it is that we #BreakTheCycle.

The stats around poor mental health in the TV and film are frightening. And EVERYONE is aware of them.
Enough in enough.

This episode is about Clare, who was diagnosed with cancer at just 25 years old. Yet even after being told it was incurable, she remains upbeat and is so passionate about raising awareness for young people living with cancer. 💪

[Jonny Smith @howaythen]

Oriane Pierrepoint, an exceptionally talented artist, painted Clare’s portrait, capturing her beautiful, courageous spirit and the work will be exhibited as part of Bradford’s 2025 UK city of culture programme. 🎨

In July 2024, I had the privilege of shooting an episode of Extraordinary Portraits (BBC One), featuring some truly inspiring individuals.

A massive shoutout also goes to @SmartsAgency Agency, who entrusted us with the task of creating an advert about the region, filmed on location in the region, and with a crew entirely from the region! 💪🏻

🎬 Throwback to November when I had the privilege of directing an incredible ad for @rightmove, featuring our very own local lass, @Charlottegshore! 🏡✨

[Jonny Smith @howaythen]

This project began with a highly ambitious script and a demanding schedule, but it was made possible by the exceptional expertise and the sheer graft of some of the best local crew the North East has to offer. 🙌

[Jonny Smith @howaythen]

And thanks to Jordan Barton for his warm and welcoming hospitality at Apex Combat and Conditioning 💪🏻

Recent work in Manchester for @ufc, filming @LeroneMurphy ahead of UFC308. Lerone trained non-stop: high intensity, sweating buckets, 100% commitment - and it showed in Abu Dhabi, taking his unbeaten record to 15 & 0. Privileged to film with one of the UKs most promising fighters

Helmand: Tour of Duty airs tonight at 9pm on BBC Two or you can watch it now on BBC iPlayer: https://t.co/7cw6YbH9XJ

[Jonny Smith @howaythen]

Earlier this year, I was asked to shoot a day on an unbelievably emotive documentary.

Helmand: Tour of Duty, focuses on the withdrawal of British troops from Afghanistan - now a decade ago.

[Jonny Smith @howaythen]

Credit to @FilmsKailash , @PassionPix and the @bbcpress for making such an emotionally intelligent film. And to all the contributors for having the courage to share their stories of pain, loss and hope.

Lest we forget.
