There’s a timeline of events that every video production goes through. It’ll be our job to take your video through the whole process from ideation to completion- with your feedback throughout.
So How’s It Work?
On-Boarding
We meet. Get to know each other. Negotiate the deal. Get on the same page. Come to an agreement. You pay a deposit. We’re in this now.
We often have a writing retreat where key players of the production and client side will meet. We brainstorm concepts for your video. Decide on one. Write it. Storyboard it. Visualize it. Till we’re decided.
Development
We build a crew. Cast talent. Reserve gear. Make a shooting schedule and shot list. Get insurance. Lots and lots and lots of complicated, sometimes boring, but necessary preparation. We prepare to record.
Pre-Production
The big day(s). We point the camera at the subject and we hit record. We could be juggling large crews, running expensive equipment, managing foreign matters, problem solving complicated effects, or more!
Production
We take all our assets from set and we compile them into a video. We doll it up with color, sound, VFX, illustration, graphics, or anything else we want. We’re making a finished video.
Post-Production
The video is completed. It’s passed off to you in its final form. We invoice, receive final payment, shed some good bye tears, and then get over it because we’re making another one!

Jonah’s Editorial Stats (as of July 2022)
From Jonah:
Editing is the first thing that I tried when I first started actively pursuing film in high school. Editing has always made sense to me. There are few greater feelings than that which you get after days or weeks slogging through thousands of clips and you finally find the story.
Editing nearly full time for 8 straight years plus all the experimentation in high school. I have nearly 15,000 hours of editing work.

“Filmmaking is my purpose.”
From Jonah:
I wanted to direct film since I was 9 years old- but I was also too scared to admit it. I was lucky enough to ACCIDENTALLY get my first professional gig co-directing with Harmon Brothers legend Daniel Harmon at age 22.
Since that first gig in 2017 I have slowly learned how to tell a compelling story and keep an audience engaged. I want to use that knowledge to help direct and produce your film for you.
I want to use my skills to help you tell your story.
The Content We’ve Worked On Has:
Accrued hundreds of millions of views
Shown on national streaming services, like Discovery+ and Angel Studios
Won local and national awards, including an Emmy and several Webby’s
Premiered at SXSW and dozens of other festivals
Driven millions of dollars in sales revenue
You’re not alone in this.
And neither am I.
Film is the great collaborative art form. My productions are no exception.
It’s my job to direct, produce, and/or supervise the post-production process for your video. It’s not my job to do it alone. A MAJOR component of my process is involving other specialists.
I believe in hiring whatever sized crew the concept calls for. Not all productions need a 25 person team- but some do.
I believe in using experts and specialists to do the job better than I can.
The only way for us to make world class content is to involve as many world-class people as we can.
I build teams. I bring people with me.
“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…
“He is very creatively minded and is a natural problem solver…
“Jonah… 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.”

Where am I working?
When I direct and produce, I travel for both domestic and foreign shoots. When I edit, I ship hard drives and share files digitally. But where are those shoots run from? And where are the local films shot? And where am I actually editing?
I split my time between Dallas and Salt Lake City.
Denver will be added to the rotation soon.
MY CAREER HISTORY + EXPERIENCE
TIMELINE
I was lucky enough to land an internship with the Harmon Brothers just as they were entering their growth phase. I watched as the company exploded in success. I got to learn the ropes from the best in the comedic advertising industry.
2015
HB Intern
I joined the team and immediately became the company go-to for all the odds and ends. I did a little bit of EVERYTHING. I gained a huge filmmaking foundation. I also quickly proved to have an eye for timing and edited and assisted on dozens of campaigns for amazing HB clients including Zerorez, Chatbooks, FiberFix, Squatty Potty, Camp Chef, Click Funnels, Lume, and many more.
2016-2017
HB Editor + Jack-of-All-Trades
I left HB and spent a year on my own building my own network from scratch. I learned how to create value and work with integrity. I had a ton of fun opportunities- assistant directing VR experiences, producing music videos, and editing brand films.
2018
Austin Freelancer
I returned to Harmon Brothers as Lead Editor, taking over my mentor’s role. I supervised and/or personally edited over a dozen HB “Hero” campaigns during this time. I also produced and directed several commercials.
2019
HB Lead Editor + Producer
I left HB just a month before COVID hit the United States, and while that made it a wild ride, it was still the right time.
Over the past 3 years I have edited documentary work for local and national network television, episodic reality TV for streaming services, online and film festival sitcoms, indie feature films, and a little bit of everything in between.
In reality, this train is just finally gaining speed.
2020-Present
