Jon has been in the media and video production industry for over 25 years. Working on countless movies and television shows, he devoted his time to learning every role on a film set.

Jon developed a reputation as the on-set MacGyver, creating new ways to film things, mount gear and problem-solve. He has actually designed and created film equipment used in the industry today.
With a passion to tell stories, he loves the adventure and exploration side of video.

This Episode guest stars "Paul De Lumen". You might ask, who is Paul?
"Born to Filipino immigrants in Oakland, California, Paul is an award-winning director of photography who works internationally in both scripted and documentary.
After working at Lucasfilm, he earned his MFA in Cinematography from UCLA, learning from then cinematographer in residence, Roger Deakins, and afterwards working as an electrician for Emmanuel Lubezki.
In 2009, he was awarded the ‘Colón de Plata’ for Best Cinematography at the Huelva Latin-American Film Festival in Spain for his work on the Bolivian feature ZONA SUR, in which every scene was covered in a one-shot rotating master. ZONA SUR won Best International Feature at Sundance 2010 and garnered praise in American Cinematographer magazine.
