I'm fuelled by a deep passion for exploring different forms of creativity and the unique beauty they each hold. For me, filmmaking isn’t just about putting pretty images on a screen. It’s a way of breathing life into stories, building entire worlds, and reflecting real identities and experiences. It’s a lifestyle — a way of seeing and feeling everything more deeply.
Right now, my mission is simple but ambitious: to create timeless work alongside other bold, visionary artists. I’m here to push boundaries, craft stories that stay with you, and make every frame count.

BIOGRAPHY
Jaden Sauls is an award-winning Creative Producer, Social Media Manager, and Marketing Strategist currently based in Doha, Qatar. Graduating from AFDA in 2024 with a BA in Motion Picture Medium and continuing his studies with a BA (Honours) in 2025, Sauls brings a unique blend of creative vision and strategic execution to his work.
Sauls is proud of the work on the award-winning thriller Room 7, which won the "Best Thriller" award at FICIMAD in 2025. Sauls also produced the student horror film Isithunzi, which was featured on SABC in 2024. Beyond drama, Sauls enjoys exploring different genres, like the fashion film Wear You, Do You, Be You.
Whether coordinating production, strategising social media, or directing a shoot, the goal is to create impactful, memorable content. The belief in the power of storytelling to connect with people is reflected in the work.
When not behind the camera, Jaden enjoys experimenting with fashion projects, exploring local art galleries, documenting their life in the Life in My 20s series vlog for YouTube, and brainstorming innovative ways to engage audiences.
I’m open to collaborations, production opportunities, and creative partnerships across commercial work, cultural projects, and original formats currently in development.
