Storm Saulter

Storm Saulter is a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist from Negril, Jamaica. Storm’s award-winning debut film BETTER MUS’ COME was hailed by critics as signaling a fresh new movement of independent filmmaking throughout the Caribbean. The film secured distribution with Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY Studios, which lead to its streaming debut on NETFLIX. BBC TWO streamed the film in the United Kingdom.

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 PanAfrican Film Festival in Los Angeles, and the Audience Award at the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia. SPRINTER is Executive Produced by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. It is currently streaming on NETFLIX in North America, and has been distributed on streaming platforms across the globe. A television series based on the film is currently in development with Westbrook Studios.

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 is currently in post production on INHERITANCE, a 5 part genre-bending series he has directed for Sky Studios, starring Gugu Mbatha Raw, Jonny Lee Miller, Sheldon Shepherd and Bel Powley.
