Johan Nayar is a director based in Bournemouth with a body of work spanning narrative shorts, documentaries, and feature-length projects. His films have screened at BAFTA-recognised festivals, won international awards, and been distributed on platforms including Apple TV and in-flight entertainment for American Airlines and Qatar Airways.
As a director, Johan brings a precise visual language and a deep respect for performance. Whether working with non-actors in observational documentary or guiding cast through tightly scripted drama, the approach is the same: find the truth in the moment and build around it.
His directorial work covers psychological thrillers, drama, horror, experimental action, and adventure documentary — each with a distinct visual identity shaped by the story being told.
