About Jan Sørup

Jan Sørup is a Danish filmmaker, artist, and musician, born in 1977.

He has been gaming since the 1980s and has taught interactive music and sound in games at Copenhagen University. He runs the indie film education site FilmDaft, works with animation and explainer videos through Apertura, and plays drums in a jazz trio.

Jan started drawing funny, minimalist webcomics about 15 years ago and recently picked it up again, now working mostly in black and white in Procreate. He likes getting from a stupid idea to a finished drawing as quickly as possible.

He has always been fascinated by UFOs and is now pretty deep down that particular rabbit hole. He is also working on an animated short film in Unreal Engine, bringing together filmmaking, animation, games, music, and probably a few things that didn’t need to exist in the first place.
