Hello friend! My name is Jason, and I wanted to tell you a little bit about who I am and how I got here. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where as a young kid, I earned the nickname, Creative Boy, due to my constant outflow of youthful creative energy. Whether it was performing for my family, building things out of toilet paper rolls, writing stories on the Word Processor, filming skits with my cousin, or learning how to use a computer, I was constantly pushing the limits of my creative mind. In 2003, I ended up in New York City, where I went to NYU Film School and earned my BFA. My college education set the foundation for a career in the arts and entertainment industry. And I’ve had an incredible career so far! I’ve traveled the world with my video camera in hand, from Beijing to Haiti, Bonnaroo to SXSW, and the Grammys to the Oscars. I’ve gotten the chance to talk to amazing people, film and edit inspiring stories, and make friends, all while staying true to my creative nature and drive! My passion is telling stories, and I’ve found that the best way for me to do that is through documentary filmmaking. Documentaries allow me to craft a story, and put the puzzle pieces into the right place. I can apply my skills as a musician as well, as music and rhythm are a huge part of any documentary project. At the end of the day, I have found that making documentaries is what I love to do more than anything else! Thanks for reading!

Ryan is a New York-based filmmaker with a flair for turning subtle, everyday moments into compelling stories with broad appeal, particularly through the universal language of sports. His journey behind the camera began on the sidelines of high school football games in Texas. As he moved on to film and documentary work, Ryan developed a profound belief in the power of empathy, drawing from a tapestry of his own diverse human experiences that would inspire his approach to narratives that resonate deeply and authentically. Educated at NYU's graduate film program, Ryan's foundation in filmmaking is robust, recognized by industry accolades such as the Best Test Commercial at YDA in Cannes for his Nike spot "Buckets". His debut transcends the arena of sports, offering a lens into the human condition and capturing the collective ethos that brands and agencies strive to embody. With an eye for the emotive force of storytelling, Ryan’s ambition is to craft campaigns that don't just sell, but also tell a story that audiences will remember and feel a part of. His vision for the future is expansive, seeking to collaborate on projects that challenge societal norms and ignite conversations. Brands and agencies should partner with Ryan for his fresh perspective that blends the traditional with the avant-garde, his commitment to authenticity, and his proven ability to connect with viewers on an emotional level. His work is a testament to the potential of creative advertising to not just reach an audience, but to touch it profoundly. When not weaving narratives, Ryan is usually cooking at home in Brooklyn, or exploring the world’s coastlines with his fiancée Stephanie.

I'm a freelance filmmaker and video journalist focused primarily on documentary projects. I'm currently picking up short-term gigs as a Freelance Producer, Editor, or Videographer while I work on a part-time commissioned short documentary based out of Nebraska. I most recently finished working on a project with production company Meerkat Media on a commission from Sesame Street in Communities. The project entails documentary-style educational videos about how to talk to kids about race and racism through observing real families in conversation with their children. Prior to delving into full-time freelance life, I worked as an Associate Producer on seven feature-length historic documentaries produced by CNN Specials as well as an observational film produced by HBO Max/CNN Films. Independently, with my production partner Sana A. Malik, I produced, shot, and edited the student BAFTA-award winning documentary, Guanajuato Norte. The film follows a migrant farmworker in Connecticut and his sacrifice of being away from his family to provide a better life for his children. The film went on to screen multiple film festivals and was acquired by The New Yorker’s Documentary Channel. I also co-directed the short film, Chief Standing Bear's Journey to Statuary Hall, for the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs with Judi gaiashkibos (co-director and EP.) Together, we made a film to be used as an educational resource, following the historical story of Ponca Chief Standing Bear and the modern-day journey of building a statue of his likeness to stand in the U.S. Capitol. In addition to working as a Director/Producer on commissioned short films and personal projects, I love helping established Director’s visions come to life as an Associate Producer, Editor, or Second Camera. I’m easily curious but particularly drawn toward stories about migration, family, social justice, and the meaning of home.

He graduated in 2021 with a master's in journalism, with a focus on News and Documentary. He also has a bachelor of arts degree from NYU Tisch in photojournalism. With funding from the Fund for Investigative Journalism and as a migration fellow with the Ground Truth Project, William created a 30 minute documentary examining the Trump administration’s controversial choice to continue detaining asylum seekers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Celeste and Maria, two undocumented women, survived both COVID-19 and human rights abuses while detained at Otay Mesa ICE detention center in California. No Way, Which Way, was a BAFTA student film awards shortlist and was selected for the Toronto Women's International Film Festival. Most recently, William was awarded grants from BAFTA and the Fund for Investigative Journalism to explore how the U.S. Border Closure has impacted transgender asylum-seeking migrants in Mexico’s dangerous border cities in the midst of Covid-19. After two years, the short film, Sin Hogar (No Home), will be released this late Fall. Here's a preview of the content published with The New Humanitarian—selected for IQMF Amsterdam and Tulum WE film festivals. William was also a Great Big Story Genesis student fellow, one of four students globally awarded an opportunity to create a short film. His story, The Dolphins of Laguna, follows the fishermen of a small town in Southern Brazil who have been collaborating with dolphins for over 100 years to catch fish. Safico, 68 years-old, has been fishing with one particular dolphin, Caroba, for 45 years. Safico goes to great lengths to both protect and uphold the tradition of fishing with dolphins. With funding from National Geographic, his documentary, Daughters of Drought, investigated how Malawian women are impacted by climate change. The film won Best Short Documentary at the Toronto International Women Film Festival and will be published with WaterBear in August. His video journalism is currently featured in Time, Teen Vogue, The GroundTruth Project, BRIC Media, and Al Jazeera.

I'm a Boston-based filmmaker/photographer.I’m a visual storyteller who thrives on capturing the rawness of real life as it unfolds in front me. Whether it’s across the globe or close to home, the Earth and the humans in it have a story to tell. These stories can be spoken or simply reflected in our eyes, hearts and minds. Through traveling and self exploration in the realms of psychology and philosophy, I recognize the themes of community, survival and resilience that bind us together as humans in this strange reality we find ourselves in.
