Yigal Ohana | Pausa Production House | Founder, CEO & Creative Director
Creative Director, Director, Writer, Stage & Film Actor, Musician, Lecturer, and Co-owner of Pausa Production House.
I have been professionally connected to the world of performance and production since the age of 14. It began as a teenager acting and singing in a youth troupe, continuing through my service in a military band. It was there that I also discovered my passion for the technological side of music, leading me to open my first recording studio in my parents’ home. After my military service, I spent years directing, acting, writing, and recording – with each period drawing me closer to one of these diverse fields.
I always felt a deep love for everything I did, finding it difficult to commit to just one “calling.” I invested countless hours of thought, study, and professional refinement into each area, yet for a long time, I felt the need to downplay this versatility, fearing I’d be labeled a “Jack of all trades.”
At a certain point, I found myself drawn to the world of video, which miraculously wove together all my passions: drama, writing, directing, and music. I began to immerse myself in it, even as I scaled back my other pursuits. Yet, the attraction to those roots never vanished. Even today, I am occasionally seized by the desire to act, to sing, to write a new play, to engineer an intriguing EP, or to dive into the development and entrepreneurship of new ideas.
Now, at this stage of my life, I finally allow myself to say: “It is okay to do many things – and to do them well.”
