Hello!

Of his many strengths George is sought after for his uncanny ability to capture raw emotion and relay this emotion into seamless visual elegance. The unbridled power of the professional athlete (Canon “Agassi” & “Fire in the Belly”/Nike “Spirit of Play”) transferred in epic proportions to slick, poetic imagery. Hi-tech know how coupled with an eye for the simplistic beauty mother earth offers continues to drive his career to greater heights (Belize “Splash”/Chrysler “Apollo 11”/Boeing “Great idea”). Austrian born Jecel grew up in a professional household in Vienna. His parents encouraged him to continue in the long family line of doctors, however George had other aspirations. For years George worked in the theatre where he cultivated his skills in drama, composition, art and talent direction. In 1982 George relocated to Hollywood after catching the eye of executives at Universal Studios with a play written, directed and produced by the ambitious Austrian. After a successful run the play was bought and later developed by HBO as a cable series. Now relocated in ‘Hollywood’ Mr. Jecel with a stream of offers signed with British based BFCS in Los Angeles and thus made the transition into the advertising industry. George Jecel later joined international production company Believe Media in 2001 With a keen eye for high production value George has assembled a highly creative ‘crew-team’ that has helped earn him a reputation as one of most sought after directors industry wide.
