Antony Easton

Antony Easton worked as a graphic designer in both publishing and in the burgeoning independent video and television business in the 1980s, before joining the creative department at Saatchi & Saatchi, where he won several major international advertising awards on his way to becoming a Creative Director.

In 1994 he turned to directing commercials for clients as varied as the Guardian newspaper and the British Army. He has won awards for his short films and has written several film and TV scripts as well as making documentaries. Antony has also had three one-man art shows.

Following his father’s death in 2009, Antony became legally and then emotionally entangled with the hidden story of his father’s German ancestry. His quest to reveal its truths became an obsession, and led to the hit BBC History Podcast The House at No. 48. Following the success of the radio series, Antony was approached by a number of literary agents who urged him to tell his story. His book The House at No. 48 sold at auction to Head of Zeus/Bloomsbury and will be published in spring/summer 2028.
