Biography

Jack Vernon is an emerging Brisbane based writer and director known for his stylistic, genre twisting approach to filmmaking.

At Griffith Film School, he wrote and directed "A Heart for Vendetta," which was accepted into 17 national and international festivals, and took home 3 awards for Best Student Film, Best Romance and Best First Time Director. Since graduating with honours in 2022, Jack has built up a body of work shooting fashion and fitness commercials, music videos and experimental projects.

His latest narrative project, Elastoplastic, is currently running the festival circuit. Jack is now writing his first feature length script, with other short films and commercial work in the pipeline.

From the Judges, on ELASTOPLASTIC (2025)

From the Judges, on ELASTOPLASTIC

This short lands as a complex, carefully assembled piece of filmmaking that holds your attention from the first frame. The panel found much to admire in its sharp editing and immersive sound design, with cinematography that gives every scene real texture. Solid, committed work from the lead and the wider ensemble rounds out a technically accomplished film.
