Mini bio
How it started.
Jack started JacksGap in 2011 to document a gap year. Twin brother Finn became a regular part of the channel, helping turn bedroom videos and travel stories into a shared project with a worldwide audience.
A wider lens.
The films grew to explore mental health, human rights and climate change. In 2020, Jack co-founded Earthrise Studio. The work included The Breakdown and Seat at the Table, an 11-part journey towards COP26 that brought people living with climate change into the conversation.
Back to the land.
After moving from London to a six-acre smallholding in Cornwall, Jack launched Wild Tales in 2025. The community brings people together to learn practical skills such as foraging, fermenting and craft. Run of the Mill follows the work of restoring the garden with help from friends and local experts.
