MindsEye are thrilled to welcome Mike Upson to their emerging talent roster, EyeCandy.
Mike joined MindsEye a few years ago as part of their research team and has assisted top comedy directors such as Ben Taylor, Andrew Gaynord and Gustav Sundström. All the while he’s been developing his own ambitious, tongue-in-cheek, offbeat voice, directing music promos and social media campaigns for the likes of Toyota, Lucy & Yak and Feet. His work has featured in NME, Rolling Stone, Clash, Dork, DIY and FIFA, plus has screened in festivals the world over, including at VGIK in Russia and the Beijing Student Film Awards.
“At MindsEye, we’re deeply committed to not just finding fresh talent, but actively developing and nurturing the next generation of creative voices”, says founder and CEO Hughie Phillips. “Mike is a prime example of this dedication, and we can’t wait to help him bring his vision to life.”
“I have so much to thank MindsEye for, from their support in my personal projects and low budget music videos, to getting both table football and a darts board in the office,” says Mike. “Long may I continue to wildly miss a triple 20 and put holes in the office wall.”
