Founder and editor-in-chief
My name is Jan Sørup. I’m the founder of FilmDaft and editor-in-chief.
I own the video production company Apertura, which produces video content for companies in Denmark and Scandinavia.
FilmDaft is all about helpful content for film students, indie filmmakers, small video production companies, vloggers, screenwriters, and others engaged in video content production.
I’ve been lucky to have worked with some great writers who all work within the industry:
-
Alex is a certified Adobe Premiere Pro expert and has written numerous Premiere and After Effects guides for FilmDaft. He is also a broadcast graduate from Purdue University, currently residing in Northwest Indiana. His short script "Double Down" was given an honorable mention award at the 2014 BEA Festival of Media Arts in Las Vegas. He has directed several short films, including the film "Adopt" that won an Audience Award at the 2018 48 Hour Film Project in Chicago. His debut feature film, Cashing Out, was released in 10 cities throughout the Midwest and Florida. The film also won the Special Jury Remi Award at the 2020 WorldFest Houston International Film Festival and Best Feature at the Hoosier Annual Film Festival.
