DOWNLOAD EXCERPT →Jan-David Soutar is a writer and director known for creating boundary-pushing work that challenges conventional storytelling. His films and plays have been featured in festivals and theaters internationally, earning recognition for their unique vision and bold execution.
With a background in experimental theater and independent film, Soutar's work explores the intersection of the surreal and the mundane, often using unconventional narrative structures to examine contemporary issues through a distorted lens.
"I believe in the power of storytelling to disrupt, to question, and to transform. My work seeks to challenge audiences' perceptions while entertaining them—creating spaces where the strange becomes familiar and the familiar becomes strange."
