Jonathan Zaurin

Jonathan Zaurin was born in 1984 in the little town of Audincourt France. Passionate about film from a very young age and he realises that this is what he wants to do: Tell stories with images. It is later on that he discovers the cinema of John Carpenter, a film master whose work will prove deeply influential on Jonathan's own filmmaking. In 2006 he meets his wife Sarah and moves to the UK. Together they produce a series of award winning short films with Sarah acting as producer and often also as writer. Working professionally as a filmmaker Jonathan has made dozens of films both commercial and personal, gathering an array of awards from a wide variety of international festivals along the way. Portrait(s), Dirt and The Pit and Santa Baby all proved to be big short film successes in festivals, and all three films were made for budgets under £300! In 2020 Jonathan, in collaboration with LBS Films and Solo Productions starts the production of a feature film titled Wyvern Hill, a super low budget indie horror written by TV Writer Keith Temple (Dr Who).
