Tarasin signs to PHOTOPLAY

PHOTOPLAY has signed award-winning Melbourne filmmaker and installation artist Jasmin Tarasin for representation in Australia and New Zealand.

Influenced by her background in arts and theatre, Tarasin’s performance direction and cinematic approach has led to success internationally not only in TVCs but across documentary, film, music videos and installations. 

“Jasmin is a truly interdisciplinary artist, just as comfortable with interactive platforms as film direction," says PHOTOPLAY executive producer, Oliver Lawrance. "She has a strong vision within which her art and commercial work both thrive.” 

Relocating from Melbourne, Tarasin joins PHOTOPLAY in Sydney and looks forward to working with one of the country’s most progressive production shops. “It’s a dynamic time in the commercial world right now and we can no longer rest on traditional 30sec ads alone," says Tarasin. "As storytellers, we must be more diverse, interactive and visually arresting, across many platforms. I do a lot of longform film and art installation work and commercially, moving forward, I want to marry these worlds."

Currently in development is Tarasin’s debut feature film, The Burial, based on the story of the most wanted woman in Australia; female bushranger Jessie Hickman. She is also directing upcoming inter-disciplinary film and dance project Mother alongside choreographer Stephanie Lake, and with assistance from the Australia Arts Council.
