Director's Biography
I AM JERRY JACOB, A PHARMACIST RESIDING IN OMAN. FILM MAKING IS MY PASSION.SINCE CHILDHOOD; I HAD A SHARP INTRIGUE IN WATCHING MOVIES, OF HOW THEIR SCRIPTS ARE MADE. SEEING FILM AS AN ART STARTED A MERE FEW YEARS AGO. REALISTIC FILMS INSPIRED ME TO EXPLORE THEMES THAT REFLECTS OUR LIVES. GREAT DIRECTORS OF MALAYALAM CINEMA LIKE ADOOR GOPALAKRISHNAN, ARAVINDAN AND JOHN ABRAHAM INTRODUCED ME TO THE DIRECTORS OF INDIAN CINEMA LIKE SATYAJIT RAY, MRINALSEN, RITWIK GADAK THERE BY EXPANDING MY KNOWLEDGE TO WORLD’S BEST FILM MAKERS. I AM GREATLY INSPIRED BY ANDREI TARKOVSKY WHOSE INFLUENCE ON CINEMA CAN STILL BE FELT TODAY. ARTISTIC PASSION FOR FILM, MADE ME CONSUME FILM FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, DISCOVERING MY FAVOURITE FILM MAKERS LIKE AKIRA KUROSAWA, ABBAS KIAROSTAMI, ROBERT BRESSON, INGMAR BERGMAN. WITHOUT ANY SIGNIFICANT GUIDANCE, I STARTED EXPERIMENTING ON FILM MAKING WITH AN AVAILABLE CAMERA. I SHOT MY FIRST SHORT FILM “SOLILOQUY” WHICH WON THE BEST FILM AWARD IN THE INDO-OMAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL. MY OTHER SHORT FILM “PSYCHE” GOT OFFICIAL SELECTION IN JAIPUR INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL. “NEGLECTION” WAS SCREENED IN POORI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL FINLAND. “EPISTROPHE” WAS OFFICIALLY SELECTED IN TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, CANADA. I JUST HOPE SOMEDAY MY ART CAN INSPIRE SOMEONE AS MUCH AS MY ROLE MODELS HAVE INSPIRED ME.
