JARID DEAN

FOLIO/26 FILM DIRECTOR

I’m drawn to the moments most people overlook 
and building the structure around them.

My work focuses on people. How they move, how
they connect and the details that give something weight.

I believe a film should make you feel something. Not just intellectually, but physically, something that sits in your chest and stays with you. That’s how I see the world and what I’m always chasing in the work.

My approach is observational, shaped through detail, visual, behavioural and everything in between. It’s less about adding and more about knowing what to hold onto.

Sydney + Melbourne Based.

TRANSPORT FOR NSW

AU—CRK/DRV

NODE: DRV-AU.CRK/601
REG: 04.23-HM8.METIn collaboration with NSW Transport and cricket’s biggest teams, this campaign used sport as metaphor. We watched two friends mimic the 'perfect drive' — not behind the wheel, but at the bar. The twist? It's a PSA. Sometimes, choosing not to drive is the most powerful move you can make. Subtle, culturally resonant and shot with both humour and weight, this film tackled an Australian issue with nuance and relatability.
