Goodoil signs director Justin McMillan

Goodoil has signed Justin McMillan, a seasoned director with work spanning commercials, branded content and documentary, to its roster of directors for representation in Australia and New Zealand.

Says McMillan: “I’m honoured to join the Goodoil roster. I feel I’ve matured as a filmmaker in the last few years and it’s time to change up a few gears in 2016.”

Known for his breathtaking eye for scenery and focus on performance, McMillan has worked with major brands such as Qantas, Audi and Toyota as well as a slate of tourism campaigns, including NZ Tourism, Tourism Tasmania and Queensland Tourism.

McMillan is also a self-professed gearhead who has worked closely with Heliguys to develop a signature style of shooting based around multi-camera setups using drones.  In 2012 he took this technique to the extreme with his documentary feature Storm Surfers 3D.  The film was awarded a People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival and is currently available on Netflix. In 2016 McMillan is set to direct 2nd unit on the feature film “Breath” directed by Simon Baker based on the acclaimed novel by Tim Winton.

Says Sam Long, EP, Goodoil: “Justin has proven himself as an accomplished filmmaker with not only beautiful and often epic visuals as part of his repertoire, but also captivating performances. He’s an impressive storyteller with a very exciting career in front of him.”
