John Dower
Documentary Filmmaker
As well as his sporting films he has a keen eye for comedy. His music documentary Live Forever was described by The Guardian as, “Sublime … finds that the truth is stranger and funnier than the myths” and his latest theatrical feature My Scientology Movie praised by The Telegraph as "a giddy, Pythonesque delight", with Variety calling it "riotously funny". His first documentary short, Ronald, continues that absurd tone and proved a massive hit on the American festival circuit.
My Scientology Movie, which he also co-wrote, topped a million pounds at the UK box office and was the highest grossing documentary of the year.
Alongside his documentary work, John has directed a number of commercials for leading brands such as Apple, The Co-operative Bank, Sky HD, Vauxhall, Mars and Vodaphone.
