Hi, I’m Jonathan,
I’ve been obsessed with storytelling for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s a feature film, a documentary, a commercial or a game cinematic, I’m always chasing the same thing: those rare moments that make an audience forget they’re watching a screen and simply feel.
I’ve been fortunate enough to spend the past 25 years doing exactly that. Along the way I’ve worked with incredible people, travelled the world, directed actors on film sets and motion capture stages, and helped bring stories to life in both cinema and interactive entertainment.
What excites me most is standing at the crossroads of creativity and technology. I love collaborating with writers, artists, actors, designers and developers, finding the emotional core of a story and discovering how the latest tools can make that story even more immersive without ever losing its humanity.
People who know me will tell you I’m endlessly curious. I love exploring new ideas, experimenting with emerging technology and AI, playing games, watching films, and asking “what if?” far more often than is probably healthy.
At the end of the day, I simply love making things with passionate people. If a project has heart, ambition and a little sense of adventure, chances are I’ll be excited to be part of it.
