Jonathan Glazer (born 1966 in London) is an English director of films, commercials and

After studying theatre design, at Nottingham Trent

BBC. In 1993 he wrote and directed
three short films of his own ("Mad", "Pool" and "Commission"), and

In 2001 Glazer directed the "Odyssey" spot for Levi Strauss Jeans
[1] [2].
In 2006 he directed the second Sony BRAVIA
TV ad, which took 10 days and 250 people to film. It was filmed at
an estate in Glasgow, and featured paint exploding all over the
tower blocks [3].
In late 2006 Glazer was commissioned to make a television advert
for the new Motorola Red
phone. The ad, which features 2 naked black bodies emerging from a
lump of flesh as they rotate on a potter's wheel was due to air in
September 2006 but has since being shelved by Motorola. Motorola
have since reportedly stated that the ad will "never see the light
of day". However the ad was available on YouTube although it has been removed several
times due to violation purposes. The ad was to benefit several
charities in Africa.
