About Me
Storm Saulter is a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist from Negril, Jamaica, on a mission to create universal stories wrapped in the complex social and cultural dynamics of the Caribbean. Storm’s award-winning debut film BETTER MUS’ COME was hailed by critics as signaling a fresh new movement of independent filmmaking throughout the region. The film secured distribution with Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY Studios, which lead to its streaming debut on NETFLIX. BBC acquired the film in the United Kingdom.
On the heels of his breakout film, Saulter co-founded the New Caribbean Cinema collective, a group of emerging Caribbean auteurs determined to get their stories on the big screen by any means necessary. The group used community filmmaking tactics to create 7 groundbreaking short films, by different directors, with virtually no budget. Those shorts were combined into one feature length anthology film titled RING DI ALARM! Which premiered at the British Film Institute in London.
In 2015, Saulter served as the first ever Filmmaker-in-Residence at The University of the West indies (UWI) in Kingston, Jamaica.
Storm has directed Music Videos for Sean Paul & Sia, Chronixx, Arcade Fire, Protoje and Popcaan, and recently captured visuals for Beyoncé and Jay-Z ‘s On The Run 2 world tour. His photography has been published in Rolling Stone Magazine and The FADER to name a few. His experimental film and photography work has been exhibited at The Brooklyn Museum, The British Museum, the National Gallery of Jamaica, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami.
He is also a commercial director, working extensively with athletes like Usain Bolt and brands like PUMA and RED STRIPE. Storm received a 2021 American Advertising Awards Gold Addy Award for directing the JACK DANIELS “Gentleman Jack Culture Shakers” campaign.
Storm wrote and directed his 2nd feature film SPRINTER which swept the 2018 American Black Film Festival winning Best Director, Best Narrative Feature and the Audience Award. The film went on to win several best-of-festival awards including Best Narrative Feature at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, and the Audience Award at the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia.
