Asa Gartland

Writer/Director

About

Yorkshire-born and London-based, Asa Gartland directs films, music videos and commercials with a fondness for both the sublime and the ridiculous.

His work explores how misfits and outsiders are forced to navigate the often dysfunctional systems they find themselves in. Through a mixture of character-led performance and bold visual language, Asa tries to create an absurd tone that can’t decide whether to laugh or cry, so it does both.

Whether as a writer, a director, or a producer, Asa's work has been recognised at some of the top festivals and industry awards both at home and abroad. If you want smiles, tears or the spot in between, get in touch.
