His obsession sees him incorporate iconic advertising references, techniques and slogans into his adult films, such as Heineken’s “refreshes the parts others can’t reach”, John Smith’s “‘ave it” and Peperami’s “it’s a bit of an animal”.

Notable directors who have appeared in past Showcases include Fredrik Bond, Chris Cunningham, Nicolai Fuglsig, Jonathan Glazer and Michel Gondry.
