BIO

Jonathan Redavid is an Italian filmmaker, director, and choreographer based in Los Angeles. Born in Milan, he began performing as an actor at an early age and went on to become a European Swing Dance Champion before building an international career across feature films, television, commercials, music videos, and live productions.

His work includes The Greatest Showman, The Life of Chuck, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, and The Tourist. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with Tom Hiddleston, Javier Bardem, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams, P!nk, and Karl Lagerfeld, to name a few. His television and live production credits include the 98th Academy Awards, Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, The Masked Singer, and The X Factor.

Redavid brings a distinctive sense of rhythm, character, and visual composition to his work. A versatile choreographer, he moves fluidly across dance styles, adapting his movement vocabulary to the music, performers, and creative world of each project. From intimate scenes to large-scale musical productions, his approach combines physical expression, musicality, and an instinct for creating memorable images.

His evolution from performer to choreographer and director informs a filmmaking approach in which image, music, and movement are developed together. Equally drawn to theatrical spectacle and intimate human stories, he combines expressive visuals with close attention to the people at their centre.

With SÉ, his narrative directorial debut, Redavid brings this sensibility into a personal cinematic world, exploring identity, memory, and the courage to reclaim one’s own life.
