Hi, I'm Jonathan.

I'm a filmmaker, director, and creative leader who believes great stories have the power to move people.

For the past six years, I've helped businesses, nonprofits, and educational organizations bring meaningful stories to life. I love everything from intimate interviews to complex productions, especially when I get to collaborate with great people.

As Video Production Manager at Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, I lead a creative team, direct productions, and develop systems that bring ideas to life. I also founded obrienfilm, where my nonprofit films have been featured at fundraising events that collectively raised over $1 million.

But what matters most to me is how we work together. I believe great work comes from teams that feel supported, valued, and excited about what they're creating. I bring a positive attitude, focus on solutions rather than problems, and genuinely care about the people I work with.

When I'm not behind a camera, you'll probably find me playing electric guitar, enjoying just about any sport, or being a goofball with my family and friends.

At the end of the day, I want to tell stories that matter and make great things with great people.
