Jackalor films was born from a quiet mutual respect.
A likeminded love for relatable storytelling, with a passion for telling those stories truthfully…
Character driven with depth and a distinct visual sense of place at its core. Not everything needs to be understood all the time. But it should ask questions, it should affect and offer a need to reflect.
