Studio Iris Jacobs · Writing & Directing · Services
Looking for a director for your next production, or a writer to develop your story? I work across film, television, theatre, music videos and commercials—with heart, a sharp edge and a sense of the absurd.
01 — Writing & directing
For producers, artists, brands and cultural organisations. Bring an idea to develop together, or an existing project looking for a writer or director.
01 · Direction
An actor-centred approach and a precise visual world. I work with your script, cast and creative team to shape performances, atmosphere and rhythm—creating room for experimentation within a clear artistic vision.
Direct my story ↗02 · Writing
From an initial idea to a treatment, screenplay or rewrite. I help find the emotional heart of a story and develop the characters, scenes and structure that bring it to life—for original and commissioned work.
Write my story ↗A glimpse into the work
Explore my films and director’s reel to get a feel for the performances, visual worlds and stories I make.
02 — The collaboration
Discipline + Surrender = Flow.
01
We talk about your idea, its audience and what you want people to feel. Bring a brief, a script or the question you are still trying to answer.
02
We agree on the creative direction, my role, the scope, timing and fee before the work begins.
03
Through writing, rehearsal or production, we develop the work together with close attention to story, performance and visual detail.
03 — Additional services
Alongside writing and directing, I offer support for your creative practice, performance, cultural programme or visual project.
Story & creative practice
For writers and makers seeking a fresh perspective. Story coaching with Jacobs & Herzberg explores character, structure and the emotional core of your work. Individual creative mentoring supports your voice, confidence and next steps.

A coherent concept and visual language, including production design and art direction, for your production, campaign or cultural project. Work with me to connect story, imagery, atmosphere and design, and give your team a clear creative direction.

Available for screen, stage, voiceover and audio projects. Share your character, script or casting brief to discuss the role, performance style and availability.
