Biography
Jayden Creighton is a 31 year old filmmaker, based in Australia. In 2013, he completed a Bachelor of Film Production at the SAE Institute, Byron Bay. During his studies, he honed a lifelong passion for video production, taking that first step toward his dream. With a niche for writing, directing and editing, he commenced work on a number of short films and a web series, using the experience to refine his creative style and grow as a filmmaker. In 2019, he released his short horror film 'Trespassers', which accumulated numerous festival wins, and picked up an impressive 1.1 million views online. In 2021, he released his sophomore effort 'Kinks', which surpassed 'Trespassers' with 2.4 million views and a few festival nods. In 2022, Jayden entered the Monster Pictures Pitch Initiative with his concept trailer for a proposed feature film 'The Matriarch', and became a top 20 finalist. While it didn't win, it did give him the confidence that the project had potential, and he began developing it into his feature film directorial debut. In 2024, Jayden will begin work on the feature length adaptation of his short film 'Trespassers'.
AFIN recognition
From the Judges, on THE MATRIARCH (2024)
From the Judges, on THE MATRIARCH
A horror feature that won the panel over on craft: the score struck them as original and genuinely stirring, and the pacing holds its grip from start to finish. Locations and production design read as distinctive, with framing and composition building a mood the film sustains. The young lead's performance stayed with them, as did the care shown in the practical effects and makeup work.
From the Judges, on TOTAL BUZZKILL - THE MATRIARCH (2024)
From the Judges, on TOTAL BUZZKILL - THE MATRIARCH
The editing sets a crisp, energetic pace, cutting between the band's black-and-white performance and a story that plays out in full colour so the two run side by side. Confident direction and sharp shot choices carry that energy throughout, with the band fully committed to the piece and a young performer who sells her scenes with real conviction. Altogether it is a music video with a clear point of view and a genuine sense of craft.
