Director’s reel from Jakob Wandel, spanning brand film, original documentary, and select music-driven pieces with support from major labels. I’m a director and documentary filmmaker creating brand films, commercial content, and original documentary work. From creative development, concepting, and treatments through pre-production, production, and post, I focus on craft, performance, and the details that make stories feel real. The goal is consistent: honest work with integrity that holds up on screen and earns attention. Alongside commissioned projects for brands and agencies, I’ve built a growing body of original work. I collaborate with crews of all sizes and lead productions from small, nimble sets to full-scale commercial teams. I work comfortably with producers, agencies, and brand partners to shape ideas, run a clear process, and deliver films that hit creatively and strategically. Based in Los Angeles and Nashville. Available worldwide.
