Isaiah Lester

Isaiah Lester, the maverick storyteller. Born in 1965 in the cultural melting pot of New Orleans, USA, Lester has been an active film director since the early 1990s, chiefly exploring the genres of drama, thriller, and black comedy. His most acclaimed films include "The Jester's Court" and "Bourbon Street Shadows," the latter bagging several awards, including at the Sundance Film Festival, for its unique blend of humor and suspense. Lester's directorial style is known for its emphasis on atmospheric settings and complex character development. Off-screen, Isaiah Lester is a man whose passion for the art of cinema is as intoxicating as the jazz music of his hometown.
