Biography

  • Jan P. Smith has been working in a variety of positions in the film- and television industry since 2006, sometimes as cast member but mainly (technical) crew. He moved to the United States after being offered a job as host and presenter for NCL. By the end of 2012, while living in New York, he specialized in photography and still imagery used in combination with cinematography aspects like lighting, grading and art direction. In the following years he gradually made a shift to being a director and producer. In the early and mid '90s when videoclips for musicians had their peak in the Mtv era his interest grew to eventually make steps into combining visionary images with music. Cinematography and photography apart, this led him to direct multiple short films from 2015 and onward. Since 2018 he started to experiment with ideas to shift the world of traditional movie story telling into a music driven visual experience and vice versa, not only limited by silver screens and monitors but also by using live performances and/or technical driven light shows.
