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!

Cinematography holds a significant place in my journey, tracing back to 1995 when I embarked on my path as a videographer in my home country, Albania. Born as the son of Ibrahim Berdaku, a renowned writer and director in Albania, my upbringing was steeped in the artistry of filmmaking. My exposure to my father’s world ignited a lifelong passion for the cinematic arts. With a rich tapestry of more than two decades in international video production, I take immense pride in my role as a catalyst for amplifying the reach of the brands I’ve collaborated with, resulting in audiences that have expanded into the millions. Serving as the Head of Production at Ajvideo Productions Inc., I have orchestrated a diverse array of projects, spanning from grand-scale affairs like NYC Media, Mediakite, Thom Browne, Prada, Calvin Klein, Ferrari, Sothebys, Phillips, Miu Miu, Proenza, Philipp Plein, Gabriella Hearst, SKY TG24, RAI, Mediaset, and LA7, to corporate gatherings. My innate ability to anticipate and encapsulate fleeting, enchanting moments, all while maintaining an unobtrusive presence, sets me apart. Moreover, I possess the unique gift of being trilingual, proficient in English, Italian, and Albanian, which further enriches my ability to connect with and understand diverse cultures and audiences. I am confident that my professional prowess behind the camera, coupled with my extensive experience and unwavering dedication to client satisfaction, renders me an invaluable asset to your esteemed production crew.
