Jasper Soloff at 26 is the baby-faced director you need to keep your eye on.Whether he’s directing a Billy Porter music video or shooting a cosmetics campaign starring Gigi Hadid, he’s on his way to real magic in story telling.After finishing school at Central Saint Martin in London, he moved to Brooklyn and got his start photographing his friends on his roof.Having zero contacts and wanting to work in fashion in NYC, he did what gay men do best: hustle.
The hustle–and the formidable talent–eventually paid off and he began to book shoot after shoot.Today he’s directing commercials, video editorials and has a determined desire to tell queer stories in film, big queer stories that we can’t wait to see on the little or big screen.Get to know the Jasper Soloff behind his Instagram @jasperegan in this exclusvie Queerty chat with Queerty contributor Michael Page Wright.Hi Jasper!!!HIII!As I do, lets jump into it.
As a director there must have been that movie you watched an insane amount of times?Chicago. I was always obsessed with the way that it was filmed.
I love the dynamics, the light, and the way the details were filmed during the performances. It’s probably what inspired me to become a director.
