Writing in motion.
Ideas arrive through fragments, images, conversations, walks, rehearsals and sudden intuitive leaps. Writing is alive long before it becomes fixed.

The Process
Before a film is shot, before a performance is staged, before an image finds its final form, there is a quieter phase: notebooks, sketches, references, rewrites, rehearsals, questions, gestures, sound, rhythm, color, and human connection.
This is where Studio Iris Jacobs works: in the living space between instinct and form, searching for what a piece wants to become.

02
Direction begins in listening: to actors, to the image, to rhythm, to what is not yet visible but already present inside the work.

From contemporary collage to production design to performance language, the studio shapes visual and emotional environments with precision and curiosity.
People
Behind every project is a constellation of collaborators: actors, writers, cinematographers, editors, designers, performers, curators, mentors, producers, and friends of the work.
Studio Iris Jacobs values the atmosphere around making just as much as the final result. The right team changes everything. So does the right question.
The backstage space is shaped by conversation, rehearsal, feedback, silence, and trust. The process is never solitary for long.
How people feel while making something matters. Care, honesty, rigor, and openness create the conditions for work that can breathe.
Backstage
Behind the scenes is where image, intuition, story, and people slowly learn how to belong to each other — where the visible work begins in the invisible hours.
