James Douglas Cooper · Album · 2022 · 13 songs.

During Australia’s extended lockdown I wrote, recorded and produced a new 13 track album. Recently mastered in Los Angeles and released late last year, In Pursuit of the Firebird is now available worldwide on all streamers. Do get in touch if you’d like to arrange using a track in one of your films, ad or content campaigns. Instrumental mixes are also available. The album is expected to land on vinyl later in 2023 and was made 100% independently and completely bypasses the traditional system.🎙

Had a blast directing Powers Knowledge Series for Powers Irish Whiskey in the USA. Check this story out - about how to make the most perfect ice - by hand! We met with Zachary Gelnaw-Rubin of Hundredweight Ice, New York, to see how he crafts the perfect cubes

Thanks to the amazing team at Slim Pictures, Venice and to August Thurmer for the gorgeous cinematography, Brian T Murphy for the music composition and Dean at Reelgood Audio for the stellar mixing and sound design!

An open note to Converse brand team USA:

Converse is a brand I've always admired. Especially the Chuck Taylor All-Star line, originally created in 1917 (yes, that's right, 1917!). They've stayed true to their original, courageous tone and they've become an icon because of it. They've also remained a simple canvas shoe with a rubber soul. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I wrote and directed this spec spot for Converse, and I cast it and shot it in New York City in 2014. Why? Because I want to tell more stories like this for Converse in 2015. I see this spot as a proof of concept. I have a multitude of these stories lined up, ready to go - Young, passionate people in America who have overcome the odds in their life, who have overcome trying circumstances, who have overcome adversity and remained courageous and stayed original despite the fates telling them that perhaps, they should do otherwise.

I'm super passionate about telling inspirational, personal stories and equally charged about connecting amazing, iconic brands with people like this. It shows the brand to be forward thinking and connected outside of the traditional advertising paradigm, and it also means as filmmakers we can create engaging, well crafted, beautiful content to entertain consumers, with the healthy support of a brand's marketing and fiscal power.

So Converse, are you listening? Are you out there? Let's work together, let's tell a string of powerful stories and shine a light on young, inspiring people who all love to throw on a pair of Chuck Taylors before stepping out into the wide world and offering it their talent and vision.

Converse, let's talk.

Regards

J Cooper, Filmmaker, LA & NY.

I was honored last night to have been invited to give a talk at the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts. I met some really interesting students and was delighted to be able to share stories, experiences and hopefully inspirations from my last few years as a new director in Ireland, the UK and the US. What an incredible school and facility!

Liked this minimal type I found in Venice, CA on the back streets near Abbot Kinney. Worth saying that I think a version that simply says "Live Peace or Live Peacefully" would be more powerful on a vibrational level.

Hangin' out with Otis the English Bulldog today in sunny Los Angeles. He knows the score.
