Writing & Directing

Boutique cinema, embodied storytelling, and precise direction.

Iris Jacobs develops and directs story-led work with a distinctly human centre. Her approach combines directing, screenwriting, dramaturgy, performance direction and choreographic sensitivity to create work that is emotionally resonant, cinematically strong and exact in form.

She can step into a project at different stages: as a director working from an existing script, as a writer-director, or as a creative collaborator helping shape story, performance and visual language.

The work may begin with her own material or with somebody else’s. The focus remains the same: finding what is most alive, specific and true inside the story.

Why Work With Iris Jacobs

A director with an authorial eye who can step inside somebody else’s world.

Strong directorial perspective.

A distinctive visual and emotional sensibility without forcing the project into a predetermined style.

In service of the material.

Iris enters the world of the script and looks for the strongest possible expression of what is already there.

Embodied storytelling.

Performance, bodies, blocking, choreography, rhythm and physicality are treated as storytelling tools, not decoration.

Creative Process

Human-centred, visually exact, emotionally alive.

Iris Jacobs works from the inside out: beginning with emotional truth, refining structure, and shaping the visual and physical language that allows a story to fully land.

The result is work that is story-led and sensorial — attentive to rhythm, bodies, gesture, silence, tension and atmosphere, while remaining clear, rigorous and collaborative throughout production.
