Jake Kuhn is a writer, producer, director, and recent alumnus of the National Film and Television School, where he directed the Python-esque medieval farce Hand to God. A manic screenwriter and lover of all cinema — particularly Austin’s very own Slacker whose commentary track sparked his love of film — Jake directed his first feature with Noah Stratton-Twine: The Peril at Pincer Point, an improvised, Corman-inspired crustaceous comedy set to world premiere at SXSW 2026.
