When Parry Metz was a pre-med student at the University of Michigan, he had visions of improving lives and having a profound and lasting effect upon humanity. So he did the only sensible thing: he changed his major to advertising. For 15 years, Parry was a creative director and copywriter at DDB Chicago, where he has worked on Safeway, JCPenney, McDonald’s, The Field Museum, the Afterschool Alliance/Ad Council, the American Cancer Society, and many other accounts. Most recently, he was creative lead on a multi-million dollar Jewel-Osco campaign and also led social media content creation for GNC, Citibank and Applegate Natural Meats. Parry takes pride in finding creative solutions to every assignment that comes his way, no matter how small. Judging by his longevity on the Albertsons/Safeway account (11 years) and, prior to that, the JCPenney account (6 years), this seems to be something that clients appreciate. 3 guiding principles have truly helped shape Parry as a writer and creative leader: Good is the enemy of great. — Voltaire People only read what interests them. Sometimes it's an ad. — Howard Gossage Don't be a douche. — some guy Along the way, he has won a host of awards and created work that has consistently been best in category. What brain surgeon can say that?

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I'm a visual storyteller who believes the camera is a tool that can shake the foundations of power. I try focus the lens on people building a better world. I've worked and learned video production with some amazing organizations and programs. I owe them a lot for their guidance.

I then became an intern/production assistant with Al Jazeera's Emmy Award winning program Fault Lines. I worked as the Production Coordinator of the Emmy award winning Kennedy Center Honors Films. I was filming in Baltimore during the uprising after the police killing of Freddie Gray, when I was hired to work with The Laura Flanders Show - a economic and social justice program that focuses on solutions to systemic issues plaguing the United States. I eventually became a Senior Producer and Co-Creative Director of the show. My freelance work includes video and producing with AJ+, The Guardian, Fusion, Frontline, Voces de la Frontera, PBS Newshour, PBS (Quiet Pictures), the Center for Investigative Reporting, Voice of America - Eurasia, and National Partnership for New Americans.

Our film collective and I received the Storyhunter award for "Best Untold Story of 2016" for our reporting at Standing Rock with Fusion. We lived at the resistance camp from August 2016, until it was raided in late February 2017. We are incredibly grateful for the support of communities of Indigenous peoples and Water Protectors. It's been humbling. We've received support from The Milwaukee Film Brico-Forward Fund, The Berkeley Film Foundation, International Documentary Association's (IDA), Bay Area Video Coalition, IFP, Camden International Film Festival fellowship, and Doclands. I enjoy times with family, friends, and the outdoors. I am passionate about telling stories of risk takers and the fight, but definitely welcome lighter stories. I look forward to working with you and making something special together. All the best, Jonathan
