Myles Whittingham is a multifaceted London-born director whose background as an actor gives him a rare instinct for performance and the ability to speak an actor’s language.
Most recently, Myles worked as second unit director on the final season of Netflix’s TOP BOY. He is developing the international thriller CARAT with producer Yaw Basoah of Dark Pictures and writers Bola Agbage and Stephen Gallagher. He is also attached to direct THE WATER MOTHER; a folk horror feature created with Ameir Brown.
Myles began his career in front of the camera, appearing in DOCTORS and THE BILL and taking the lead in Jake Nava’s award-winning music video film BADMAN. Frustrated by the lack of roles for black actors in the UK, he moved behind the camera and went on to study at Bournemouth Film School.
His film series THE ESSENCE, a three-part story scored with Giggs’s music, has amassed over 9 million views. He has also directed ambitious music videos for artists including Sean Paul, Cardi B, Post Malone, Lily Allen, and French Montana.
