Born and brought up in Scotland, Guy moved South in search of warmth and sunshine to study film in England and the Netherlands. His thesis film won a Royal Television Society award. Guy headed to London to work freelance as a director and was quickly picked up by a production company to direct commercials. Early work included being selected as one of twenty four directors worldwide to contribute a spot for the MTV Staying Alive AIDS campaign. Guy’s film was nominated at the Cannes Lions that year.
Always keen to grow as a film maker, Guy continued to direct film outside the advertising world working in fiction, documentary, and music across Europe, Asia, and North America. He was selected by the British Council to attend the Berlinale and been funded by the BFI. His films have won awards and played in festivals around the world.
Guy brought his diverse skillset to a film featuring Roger Federer for Gillette that featured across news channels worldwide and entered popular culture. It was copied by top athletes around the world and life-threateningly re-enacted by James Corden and Andy Murray on A League of Their Own.
Guy’s default setting is comedy, and his ability to see the world through that lens has led to work for brands including Google, Sony, McDonald’s, MTV, Samsung, Skoda, Mars, 20th Century Fox, Coca-Cola, Cadburys, Intel, Barclays, and many more.
