Known for such titles as There Are No Fakes, The Skyjacker’s Tale, Secret Disco Revolution and Kike Like Me, Jamie Kastner has carved out a unique voice in a wide range of documentary styles: true crime, political thriller, comic-ironic, presenter-led, actuality, historical and musical. His work has launched at festivals such as TIFF, London and Rotterdam, sold around the world on various platforms, won prizes and resounded with audiences and media alike.

Kastner’s work is always political, but rarely overtly so. He strives to make films that are entertaining first, and then provoke audiences to consider afresh their topic.
