Kode Media signs Begg

Kode Media has announced the signing of director Konrad Begg to the company.

Begg is an award-winning director whose work has been recognised by BAFTA, Emmy and The Royal Television Society.  

In his commercial work, Begg has directed for brands such as Ferrari, Lexus, Range Rover, Ford, Shell and Toyota and is at ease creating large scale dramatic stunt sequences. He has filmed a helicopter dropping a VW Beatle from 5000ft in the salt flats of South Africa, choreographed high-speed drifts and stunts inside the Ford Factory (with no damages billed), launched Bear Grylls out of a six-storey building onto an airbag and bungeed a Lotus F1 racing car from the top of a crane, with Top Gear's very own Stig at the wheel.

Begg’s debut feature film, Songs for Amy (2012), achieved critical success upon worldwide cinematic release and went on to receive recognition for Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking at the Newport Beach Film Festival, and was in the Official Selection for the Galway Film Fleadh. 

"Konrad and I have been flashing ankles at one another for some time now,” said Kode partner and head of new business Dan Mallerman. “To say I’m delighted to have him join our roster would be an understatement. Konrad is so well known and respected in the industry, now is the perfect time for us to finally be official, and we can't wait to get working together."

“In Kode I have found a home with a great team of friendly, talented people,” added Begg. “They're producing stunning work and I feel that we share the same focus, enthusiasm and ambition to make great films. It's an exciting move for me and I'm very much looking forward to collaborating with them.”
