Testimonials
Voices from the artists, collaborators and kindred spirits behind the work.
A constellation of reflections from those who have shared creative process, rehearsal rooms, film sets, stages, and artistic worlds with Iris Jacobs.
Working with Iris was a creative adventure. She gives you the freedom to explore your character while at the same time guiding you toward her vision of the scene. Her positive energy is also something worth highlighting.
It has been a wonderful experience to be involved with Iris in the different projects we have shared. Her talented energy and her sensibility towards everything she does. Her exacting and accurate taste with the scene in all its elements and details. Above all her very creative outlook towards all the artistic possibilities in cinema and theatre… and… life!
Working with Iris Jacobs is the best experience ever. She is organised, communicative, resolutive, and super easy to work with. Her creativity is outstanding, and her feedback is always respectful and realistic. Definitely recommend!
Iris is an explosion of ideas, boldness, and originality. She is not afraid to push boundaries and go beyond the conventional. But above all, her work is always deeply rooted in research and a strong drive for self-knowledge and self-improvement. I love working with Iris. She’s talented and one of a kind, but also very easygoing on set, flexible, and open to new ideas and collective collaboration. I hope to work with her again in the future.
I've worked on several projects with Iris and I've always loved how she is constantly willing to experiment and let creativity drive the process of editing. Her imagination, her narrative skill, and her good taste for visuals and aesthetics is an explosive combination that results in personal and out of the ordinary audiovisual pieces.
An outstanding actress who radiates love, passion, commitment, and generosity, both on stage and beyond.
