Jim Jarmusch

Bio

Jim Jarmusch is an American film director, screenwriter, actor, producer, editor, and composer. In addition to directing over a dozen films over the past three decades, Jarmusch plays guitar in SQÜRL, a band he formed with frequent collaborators Carter Logan and Shane Stoneback. The band will release a new record, EP #260, this summer. In discussing his varied creative practice, Jarmusch explains what motivates him: “I consider myself a dilettante, not in a negative way, but because I have interests in a lot of different things and I want to try and do them. I’m not necessarily a master of anything.”
