Iris Jacobs is a writer, director, actor and visual artist, telling sincere, emotionally rich stories across film, theatre, visual arts & experiences. Born in the Netherlands and based in Spain, she obtained her Bachelor Of Social Work at the academy for Cultural & Social Design, produced for several theatre companies like Cosmic Theatre, Jaques Senf & Fable Factory, worked as an art director and production designer and later transformed into writing and directing—driven by a need to create from the inside out & you’ve got to feel it, to heal it.
Inspired by the idea that “Your dream is not screaming in your face, but whispers in your ear” (Spielberg), she made space to listen—and that’s when the real stories started flowing and her true voice emmerged.
Her work blends humor, heart, and physicality. Whether she’s writing, directing, acting, making art or giving masterclasses, Iris dives deep to find the emotional core of each story or piece of art.
She’s available worldwide to direct your film or play, develop original scripts, coaches your story, offers mentoring, perform, or give workshops.
