IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Jason has lived all over the world and worked in a number of fields, though film has always been his first love. He's worked as a cinematographer, a director, and a director of photography, in addition to numerous other crew positions on his way up. He's expressed a great interest in still photography, writing, poetry (published), and is highly skilled in origami (the Asian art of paper folding). He loves to be on the water so much that he's lived on a boat in Marina Del Rey, California for a number of years and has worked as an underwater cameraman on a number of projects, ranging from feature films to television to award-winning documentaries. He's a down-to-earth guy and believes that the job isn't worth doing unless it's done well, and done with people who share this same vision.
