Jill Sachs is a Filipina-American filmmaker based in Los Angeles. She pours into her stories a signature cocktail, one-part dreams and a dash of obsolescence. From that potion... occasional ghosts may arise. She is still trying to cope with the degree to which time, space, and culture control and define us.
A current AICP mentee of Shelby Ross and Harrison Boyce, Jill has recently directed several short form projects, including 'Bones', a surreal music video for the Aussie band, Telenova, which recently won 'Best Music Video' at Deep in the Heart Film Festival. This summer will see the premiere of 'Vinta - Diwata', a fashion film celebrating the label Vinta, and a personal meditation on identity and Filipina ancestry.
Jill graduated from the American Film Institute in 2017 with an MFA in Directing. She wrote and directed her AFI thesis film, 'The Liberty', which premiered at the 2018 Ashland Independent Film Festival, and won a smattering of awards on the festival circuit.
In the commercial world, Jill has worked with some of the greatest storytellers including Alejandro Iñárritu, Wally Pfister, Chloé Zhao, and Mark Romanek. She currently works as an Associate Producer at Psyop. Previously, Jill graduated from the University of Chicago and supplemented her education by backpacking alone across five continents. Jill is interested in exploring the convergence of technology with classic storytelling, and enjoys toying with narrative mediums, and secretly experiments with XR.
