Content Team Producer @ Sundance Institute + Sundance Film Festival | Emmy-Nominated Producer

“Jonah excelled in all areas of his work. He was organized, communicative, knowledgeable and eager to learn more. This role [post production supervisor and producer] requires a specific balance of technical know-how, organization, setting up workflows and coordination across multiple teams, all of which Jonah navigated in a smooth, professional and positive way. He was especially great at working with the core post-production team that he helped oversee and relaying a range of status updates back to me, both when things were running smoothly or if there was a potential technical challenge that needed to be solved.”
Tiffani Kirkham

Creative Director @ The Harmon Brothers

“Jonah is an extremely hard worker, with a willing attitude, who is very multifaceted. He excels in editing, with a well-rounded knowledge of both Adobe Premier and Final Cut. Things like rhythm and comedic timing come naturally to him and he has a meticulous eye for being able to see any errors or holes for improvement. He is very creatively minded and is a natural problem solver. Another great thing about Jonah is that he understands the entire creative process from writing to preproduction all the way through post production and finishing, and can participate and excel in most any aspect. He is a capable producer, able to manage tight budgets and difficult situations. I can't recommend him enough.”
Nikki Krivanek

Production Manager @ 2025 Sundance Film Festival | Producer @ Peloton Interactive
I worked alongside Jonah on the Content Team at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where I served as the Production Manager. Jonah was an incredible teammate-proactive, technically skilled, and always quick to respond. He brought a positive, solutions-oriented energy to everything he did and played a big role in fostering a collaborative team environment. Jonah's strong work ethic and can-do attitude made a strong impact on the team.

“Jonah is a very capable editor with knowledge and experience in most other creative roles on set and in post. He’s even wrapping up a pitch video for my feature documentary project (which he’s also done a 90 min rough cut for) and I couldn’t be happier with the experience or result.”
