Happy National Entrepreneur’s Day! I am eternally thankful to my parents for sharing their ambitiousness and enterprising spirit with me.
I am a small business owner in the independent film industry. It takes a lot of risk, courage, stubborness, creativity, brinkmanship, and business savvy, to do what I do in an industry that rarely flourishes outside of Los Angeles or New York City. I love producing corporate films, commercials, music videos, short films, and features, and have been fortunate to photograph many great clients over the years.
I have come a long way since starting out over 23 years ago as a freelance photographer. In 2005 I founded Jason R. Johnston Photography. After becaming a cinematographer in 2008, I founded my digital cinema production company Fifty Oars Motion Pictures in 2012.
The agencies and clients that trusted me at least as far back as 2005 still work with me today. I am very grateful to all my clients like the business leader Jimmy John Shark for trusting me with their brands and products for so many years, and am excited for the future.
Come talk to me about your next cine project, or if you ever need video or photo services. I look forward to hearing from you!
