About
Jan wrote many bad novels as a teenager, turning to screenplays later whilst studying for a philosophy degree.
He has worked as a tai chi instructor, a mobile DJ, an ice hockey referee, a baguette slicer and a receptionist before learning how to shoot his screenplays whilst making DIY genre pictures with friends in Walsall and working as a builder for several years. In 2009, he moved to London to pursue filmmaking full-time.
Over the last few years Jan has been focusing heavily on improvisation, capturing spontaneous performances and telling the kind of stories you overhear on public transport.
Jan now lives in London and runs a production company, DOG BUTTON, with fellow filmmaker Sam Mildner.
