DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

STEADiCAM / CAMERA OPERATOR

 

Owner of "Running Man Shot Productions", Jason is a Director of Photography and certified SteadiCam Operator.

Jason began film school in Jan 1995 on a part time basis. In the fall of 95 he worked on my first feature then called Spawn directed by Lance Weiler (The Last Broadcast).
That began his journey into the world of film and worked on many sets mostly on a part time basis as a PA and grip.


In December 2006 Jason saw a documentary on the Steadicam with Garrett Brown, the inventor of the Steadicam.  As he told the story of how it was invented and eventually became an important part of almost every major motion picture since Rocky, The Shining and Marathon Man.

In the spring 2007. Jason signed up and took the course for the Steadicam Operator’s Association (SOA) where he became certified.

Since then Jason has been working steadily in indie film projects as a Steadicam, A and B-camera as well as jib operator. 

   One of Jason's more memorable shoots was when he oporated the Steadicam for a indie horror film called "The Quiet Ones", where he (Jason) received his first IMDB credit as a Steadicam operator.

  Jason has since made other connections as he continues his life's dream of film making.

In the Spring of 09' Jason's company "Running Man Shot Productions" joined forces with long time friend Brian Simon of "Keylight Films", on the set of "Millionaire".  Since then "Running Man Shot Productions" and "Keylight Films" have been working together developing future projects, personal projects, videography and looking forward to great careers in this industry.
