With more areas around the globe being used for agriculture and development, elephants are increasingly at risk from poachers and other human encounters. At Kenya’s Mara Elephant Project, staff are turning to drones as a vital tool for managing these extraordinary animals. JMW worked with DJI as a documentary shooter and editor on the project. Shooting took place over 6 days in Maasai Mara, Kenya. Comcast has been on a journey to transform its customer experience and the stores are a place where customers can learn how to optimize their Xfinity services and can address any service needs. I worked on this spot as a second unit shooter, providing b-roll and some interview content. About 30-40% of the finished video was shot by me. Commissioned by Comcast through Invision Agency / AP. Around the world, schools are putting an increasing emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math. DJI is helping contribute to the development of STEM with partners. JMW produced, shot and edited the final piece. Two day shoot on location in DC. Nadine Sierra, Voice '10 Mannes School of Music (http://newschool.edu/mannes) at The New School's College of Performing Arts (http://newschool.edu/performing-arts), considers community to be an inspiration both at her time at Mannes and now at The Metropolitan Opera. JMW worked as DP and colorist on this project, completing the interview portion and b-roll shooting in a full day of shooting.

About John M
I'm a filmmaker who focuses on small footprint, indie docs and branded content. I'm great with people, I love to interview, and I can handle all the teach and gear stuff. Going to school for a TV/Film degree, I was able to get hands on experience quickly. After school, I gravitated toward projects that I could manage myself, creating powerful stories with a small crew. Traveling for the story has become my thing in the past three years! I've worked in London, Italy, all over the US and Kenya. Music to my ears is hearing: "Here's the basic idea and story, now get out there and make something great." Put me in coach! I'll make you proud.
