DIRECTOR
May 21st, 2010 Home \ News \ DIRECTOR

New Zealand-born British director Regan Hall has been known for his dynamic and collaborative fashion films for clients such as Dolce and Gabanna, Dazed and Confused, and Swarovski. He has now taken a dramatic departure with his first major short film, 3 Hours.

Hall’s goal was to create an emotive and engaging drama to show the human side of war. The film was shot in Jordan, in Arabic, with an all-Iraqi cast.  He self-financed the project and gradually drew major industry support, including the team behind Oscar winner ‘The Hurt Locker’.

Hall graduated from film school in New Zealand and started his career as an editor in Wellington, home to Peter Jackson’s Weta Workshop. He moved to the UK in 2000 and soon after started his own production company, producing and directing films for the advertising, fashion, and music industries. He is now hard at work developing his slate of feature film projects.
